ACE editor count number of characters?

Question

This is how I am getting the total number of lines in ACE editor... ``` editor.getSession().on('change', function(){ var lines = editor.session.getLength(); $('#lines').empty().append(lines); }); ``` This works fine, but how can I get the total characters also? I can't find any information on this in the API documentation. Thanks. EDIT... This is how I ended up doing this... it also divides the output with a thousands separator. ``` var lines = setting.editor.getLength().toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ","); var chars = setting.editor.getValue().length.toString().replace(/\B(?=(\d{3})+(?!\d))/g, ","); $('#lines').empty().append(lines); $('#chars').empty().append(chars); ```

Accepted Answer

Try to use this:

```
console.log(editor.session.getValue().length);
```
