The CountOccurencies functionality is not working with the upgrade to 8.4.0. The new version is not counting the string unless it is surrounded by spaces as it previously did for multiple versions/years.

For Example, the following commands are now returning different results:
{STRING(CountOccurencies|One blah1 has an extra digit and the other blah does not|blah)}

Previous Versions returned 2 and now it is only returning 1.

Please advise.

Thanks,

I found the same issue with 8.4.0.
I found that if I tried to count commas in a string, it will return one less than the actual number in the string.
I added an underscore to the end of the string and it works fine now.
It caused us much grief as well!!!!!!!!!!!

{STRING(CountOccurencies|B,)} returns 0
{STRING(CountOccurencies|B,_)} returns 1, which is correct.

Is there any update on this yet? We had to downgrade yesterday for a fix.

Thanks

While not a fix, an alternate way that does not alter your original string. Replace characters that are NOT the delimiter (comma) with nothing, then count what's left (the delimiters). Caveat: still counts a delimiter inside of a quote.

{STRING(Length|{REGEX(Replace|,"b,b"abdeff,b,c,123d,|[^,]|)})}
6

Thanks for the reports, we are looking at this.

The 8.4.1 BETA CountOccurencies functionality seems to be working again for us.

Thanks!
