I have a string that devides some data using ','. Now I want to count the occurences of ',' in that string. I tried:

var match = string.match('/[,]/i');

But this gives me null If I try to get the length of the match array. Any ideas?

If you need to check the occurances of a simple pattern as , then better don't use regular expressions.

Try:

var matchesCount = string.split(,).length - 1;
