简单地说，使用分割来找出字符串中某个字符出现的次数。

mainStr.split(" ")。Length //给出4，这是使用分隔符逗号分隔后的字符串数 mainStr.split(" ")。Length - 1 //给出3，这是逗号的计数

var mainStr = “str1，str2，str3，str4”; var splitStr = mainStr.split（“，”）.length - 1;减去 1 很重要！ alert（splitStr）;

分割成一个数组会给我们一些元素，这些元素总是比字符的实例数多1。这可能不是最有效的内存，但如果您的输入总是很小，这是一种直接且易于理解的方法。

如果您需要解析非常大的字符串(大于几百个字符)，或者如果这是在处理大量数据的核心循环中，我会推荐不同的策略。

下面是最简单的逻辑，很容易理解

  //Demo string with repeat char 
  let str = "Coffee"
  //Splitted the str into an char array for looping
  let strArr = str.split("")
  //This below is the final object which holds the result
  let obj = {};
  //This loop will count char (You can also use traditional one for loop)
  strArr.forEach((value,index)=>{
      //If the char exists in the object it will simple increase its value
      if(obj[value] != undefined)
      {
          obj[value] = parseInt(obj[value]) + 1;
      }//else it will add the new one with initializing 1
      else{
          obj[value] =1;
      }      
  });

  console.log("Char with Count:",JSON.stringify(obj)); //Char with Count:{"C":1,"o":1,"f":2,"e":2}

下面使用正则表达式测试长度。Testex确保不存在16个或更多的连续非逗号字符。如果它通过了测试，那么它将继续拆分字符串。计算逗号的数量就像计算符号减1一样简单。

var mainStr = "str1,str2,str3,str4";
var testregex = /([^,]{16,})/g;
if (testregex.test(mainStr)) {
  alert("values must be separated by commas and each may not exceed 15 characters");
} else {
  var strs = mainStr.split(',');
  alert("mainStr contains " + strs.length + " substrings separated by commas.");
  alert("mainStr contains " + (strs.length-1) + " commas.");
}

这里有一个和split()和replace方法一样快的方法，它们比regex方法快一点点(在Chrome和Firefox中都是如此)。

let num = 0;
let str = "str1,str2,str3,str4";
//Note: Pre-calculating `.length` is an optimization;
//otherwise, it recalculates it every loop iteration.
let len = str.length;
//Note: Don't use a `for (... of ...)` loop, it's slow!
for (let charIndex = 0; charIndex < len; ++charIndex) {
  if (str[charIndex] === ',') {
    ++num;
  }
}

快速搜索谷歌得到了这个(从http://www.codecodex.com/wiki/index.php?title=Count_the_number_of_occurrences_of_a_specific_character_in_a_string#JavaScript)

String.prototype.count=function(s1) { 
    return (this.length - this.replace(new RegExp(s1,"g"), '').length) / s1.length;
}

像这样使用它:

test = 'one,two,three,four'
commas = test.count(',') // returns 3
