    You can do it anywhere you want to reference it.  For example:

     

    If the number of character in %TextVariable% > 10, move file to long, else move file to short would be:

     

    If %TextVariable.Length% > 10

        Move file to %LongFolder%

        Else

            Move file to %ShortFolder%

    End
