Call out text resource based on character length?

I have text flow issue with short name and long name inputs in the data file.

How can I call out a text resource based on character length?

Also, how could I call out a "page" based on character length also(just in-case)?

The character length is 7 characters, for the breaking point.

Thanks!

Something like this:

if (Field("YourFieldName").length > 7)
   return Resource("ResourceForLongNames");
// else
return Resource("ResourceForShortNames");

Or, more succinctly:

return Resource(Field("YourFieldName").length > 7 ? "ResourceForLongNames" : "ResourceForShortNames");

If you want to call out a completely different page, you could do something like this in OnRecordStart:

if (Field("YourFieldName").length > 7)
   FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("PageForLongNames", true);
else
   FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("ResourceForShortNames", true);

Also, I feel compelled to say that, unless you're using a fixed-width font, just knowing the number of characters doesn't really tell you whether something will fit somewhere or not. The only way to know for sure how much space some text will take up is to measure it with the FusionProTextMeasure object. Furthermore, you can probably accomplish what you need with some kind of copyfitting instead of calling out completely different resources or pages.

The marketing designer has dictated how they want the smaller number of characters to break(paragraph) and longer characters to break.

I did the "Len" formula in excel and then sorted to see where the breaking(text flow) issue for them is occurring, that they didn't like the text wrapping.

Thanks Dan for your help this is very appreciated!
