The expression is tokencount

Ok from plinkie's post looks like that's not it either.

EDIT: tokencount is the real answer, thanks

it did work, just didn't seem that elegant.

but the tokencount is also great!

~~also regexMatchCount worked at the exact number of symbols, instead of how many separations they provide.~~

I keep forgeting to check the manual, noob move, thanks everyone!
