Is there a function that can return the length of a string? I have tried using size. but for some reason it is not going so well.

Please post an exact error description than "is not going well" in the future. Posting the error message is more helpful.

If you have string not a char then you have to use a different command to get the number of chars: strlength
str=string('abcdefe')
strlength(str)
or you can convert the string to a char and then deterimise the length with the code posted by @Fangjun Jiang
str=string('abcdefe')
chr=char(str)
size(chr,2)
length(chr)
numel(chr)
but if you are interested in the number of lines use:
strSplited = splitlines(stringWithLinebreaks);
size(strSplited,1)
length(strSplited)
numel(strSplited)

Note that in 2011 when the question was originally asked, the string object did not exist and "string" often referred to a character vector.
I think it would have been better if they had used a different datatype name to avoid confusion.

Have you created a variable called size? what do you get with
which size
It should be something like ../matlab/r2011a/toolbox/matlab/elmat/size
