Any regex gurus out there know if there is a pattern to test the number of commas in a string? I was thinking something along these lines but this doesn't quite do it. I'm lousy at regex ;)
<cfset list = "1,2,3,,5,,,,9,10"> <cfset matched = reFindNoCase("([^,]*?,[^,]*?){9,9}", list)> <cfif matched gt 0> found exactly 9 commas <cfelse> no match </cfif> Janet ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion is delivering applications solutions at at top companies around the world in government.
