[pmwiki-users] WikiSh - check string length

and one more WikiSh question while we're at it:

and again, i'm not understanding why this won't work - i want to  
check the length of a string, and if it's too long, i'd like to print  
something different out... this is what i had hoped would work:

	{(set -s word = "blammo")}
	result: {(wikish if ${#word} -gt 10; then; echo "string too big";  
else; echo "string just right"; fi)}

however, the result i get is

	result = {#word} -gt 10)
	string too big


any ideas on how i can get the string length to be treated like a  
number and then successfully pushed thru the if statement?

thanks
adam
