title: Count characters in Powershell
body: <p>I'm starting to make some scripts in PowerShell but I have a problem. </p>
  
  <p>I want to count the number of characters that someone introduce by keyboard. I'm trying this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>write-host $FC
  $numcar = $FC.Count
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it always returns 1.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone help me?</p>
