Hi,

Please try this script.

var value = "2009 , 2010 , 2011";
var count = value.split(",").length;
alert(count);
g_form.setValue("variable4", count);

Hello Swati

do you need this on client side or server side?

In server side, here is how you can do it in BR.

var val = current.variables.var1.toString();

val = val.split(",");

current.variables.var4=val.length;

For client side, you can use the code provided by Ali.
