I'm looking for a way for a snippet to perform a transformation on a tab stop, but to output the number characters, not to modify the captured tab stop. Can anyone think of how this would be done? Example: A tab trigger for the PHP function strncmp(), and when I type 'string', the third argument would update to the total number of characters in the string.
strncmp($$1, '$2', <character count of $2>)
giving me:
strncmp($foo, 'string', 6)
