Count the number of occurrences of a specific character in a string

[oracleoftemple]

All I'm trying to do it count the number of times a specific character (a pipe) occurs in a string.  Can someone help me with this?

@oracleoftemple One way of doing this with the REGEX_CountMatches function

REGEX_CountMatches([Text], '\|')

Hi @oracleoftemple 

One way of doing this.

REGEX_CountMatches([Field1],'\|')

Many thanks

Here I have written a Python program to count the number of occurrences of a specific character in a string -https://blog.newtum.com/count-the-number-of-occurrences-of-a-character-in-a-string-in-python/
