Does anyone know if there's a way to find out the # of digits in a numeric value (i.e. 12 would yield 2, 1940 would yield 4) Any Max object that would do a "strlen" type manipulation?

That works like a charm!

BTW, Jasch has wrapped all of the strcmp, strlen etc. objects. Check out:

The mathematical solution would be something like 1 + trunc(log10 

(N)), although that will probably do the wrong thing for values less 

than 1. What action do you want for negative numbers?

tosymbol -> spell -> [t b] -> counter -> numbox

For instance. The number triggering tosymbol would also need to reset

the counter to zero.

just one more standard object, one-box solution. it also accounts for symbols:

and if you don't need symbols, you could add an absolute value function to handle negatives correctly:
