@anjade2 - Template language has a strlen function,

Code:

class calibre.utils.formatter_functions.BuiltinStrlen[source]

    strlen(a) – Returns the length of the string passed as the argument

Pretty sure that could be used to populate the value of an integer custom column (#titlelen) with value of strlen(title)

BTW I moved 4 of your threads out of the Plugin subforum into Library Management.

As Wilde might have put it "“To mispost one thread may be regarded as a misfortune; but to mispost four threads looks like carelessness.”

Why does it matter - because someone looking for threads relating to lets say 'moving books', wouldn't expect to find them in the Plugins subforum.
