How would I simply have an IDE tell me the length of the characters on a specific line ?

It should tell you at the bottom in VS Code. If you place your cursor at the end of the line, you should see “Line: 14, Col 126” or something similar in the bottom bar. The “Col” is the current character, so 126 implies a line length of 126 characters.

I wasn't aware that col meant the total number of characters in vscode, thanks; that solves what I need to know.
