elements() - The elements Function

Usage:

elements(string, separator)

Description: Returns the number of elements in the given string separated by the given separator. Only the first character if separator is used. Empty string("") is a valid element (thus, this function can never return a value that is less or equal to zero).

Example:

var a = "My name is Joe; Age 50;";
var b = String.elements(a, " ");          // b = 6
var c = String.elements(a, ";");          // c = 3
var d = String.elements("", ";");         // d = 1
var e = String.elements("a", ";");        // e = 1
var f = String.elements(";", ";");        // f = 2
var g = String.elements(";;,;", ";,");    // g = 4 separator = ;
