is there a way to get length of a string in Neo4j cypher?

cypher, neo4j

Solution

To return the length of a string in Cypher, use the `SIZE()` function. The `LENGTH()` function is now exclusively used for measuring PATHs in the graph.

`RETURN size("This is an example string")`

yields 25

From the good folks at Neo: "This feature is deprecated and will be removed in future versions. Using `length` on anything that is not a path is deprecated, please use `size` instead"
