Interrogating string for number of characters, response.writing identical number of characters on new line

Suppose I have strString. I want to determine the length of strString in #
of characters, and write that number of characters on a subsequent line as a
dummy character, say a hypen.

In other words, I want to be able to dynamically create the following
presentation in ASCII:

Title title title title title title
-------------------------

Note that the number of hyphens equals the number of characters in "Title
title title title ...", which would be stuffed in strString.

Any help out there?

BTW, thanks to all the smarties in the group who have helped me out over the
past few years. The community has helped make my career.

theString = "Title title title title title title"
theChar = "-"
Response.Write String(Len(theString), theChar)
