[SOLVED] Counting commas in a variable

[Kev 69]

Hi all,

 

Let's say I have a variable set as:

 

www.today.com,email@address.com,Kevin

 

How would you go about counting the number of commas present in that variable?

 

I'd simply need a result such as in the example above, of 2.

 

Thanks,

Kev

There must be something more elegant but I came up with this.

clear list(%commas)
add list to list(%commas, $find regular expression(#variable, ","), "Don\'t Delete", "Global")
set(#number of commas, $list total(%commas), "Global")
