Dear list, I'm looking for a way to count the number of "|" within an object. The character "|" is used to separated ids.
Assume a data (d) structure like Var NA NA NA NA NA 1 1|2 1|22|45 3 4b|24789 I need to know the maximum number of ids within one object. In this case 3 (1|22|45) Does anybody know a better way?
