 * You mean like:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $args=array(
         'post_type' => 'post',
         'post_status' => 'publish',
         'posts_per_page' => -1,
         'caller_get_posts'=> 1
       );
       $my_query = null;
       $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
       if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
         while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
           <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
           <?php
         echo 'length of post content is '. strlen( $my_query->post->post_content);
         endwhile;
       }
       wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
       ?>
       ```
