Help on using conditionals based on the length of first post in a thread

[Neutral Singh]

Hi

I am talking about only the very first post in any thread.

Suppose, I have a thread with more 1,000 characters in 'showthread' template. I want to place a conditional statement in the postbit template so that if the length of first post is less than say '500' characters then a statement is executed otherwise another.

For Example

 

<if condition="length of the post < 500 characters" >

       Execute a statement

       <else />

               <if condition="length of the post < 700 characters" >

               Execute a statement

               <else />

               Execute a statement for all posts > 700 characters.

               <if/>

</if>

I am looking for that conditional statement that can perform this function.



Thanks in advance
