Is it possible to count the number of comma separated values between two marked points in a file using emacs?
I’d go the easy way: M-x
count-matches,. It counts commas, but the number of values should be this number, or plus or minus one, depending on whether either point is a comma itself. I’m using Transient Mark Mode so the function applies automatically to the region.
