jQuery: Count occurrences of a character in a string

Question

I have a string that is returned, that contains data separated by |'s.

I already have my script splitting by a '|', now I just need to count how many pieces of data are stored in the string, easiest way I see it would be to count the number of |'s in the string.

This is basically what's going on so far: http://jsfiddle.net/53ueL/

Greatly appreciate any help in advance!

you're never incrementing "i"?

I might be missing something, but I it looks like you can just do:

$(".Count").html(TOElist.length);

Thanks! I didn't even think about taking the length of that. Really appreciate your help :)

Why not simply get the length of the array you've split everything into?

$(".Count").html(TOElist.length);
