Hi all, I am looking for a way to count the number of a character occurrences in a string with MySQL. For example, I have this string "1;333;72227;00;19;1;1;" and I would like to return the number of ";" found in this string. Is this possible? Also, I wanted to return fields that contain EXACTLY 2 ";" in the string, but with LIKE or REGEXP, it returned everything that has 2 or more ";" occurrences. Does anybody have a way to return the exact match?
