Thanks for sharing this, Sumit. Perhaps, you could give the Javascript code as a download. This way there would be no need to type it all over again.

    let player = GetPlayer()
    let text1 = player.GetVar('textEntry').length
    player.SetVar('count', text1)
     
    //You can replace 'count' and 'textEntry' with your defined variables :)
