Has anyone done stuff with RSS feeds in PD? I'd like to be able to use live web data as an input to a PD patch.

Also, is there an object thet tells you how may "letters" a symbol has?

For processing larger amounts of text I generally recommend to use a scripting language inside Pd. Lua (pdlua) is a very good choice IMO. Then get the length of a string with the usual approaches of the scripting language of your choice e.g. in Lua:

a = "foobar" print(#a) -- prints 6
