Hi community!
I have an embedded data field,
high_stringof the form: "2: Pickles, 4:dog., 5: bottle, 13: rainbow."
string_lengththat captures the wordcount (ignoring numbers) of this field (i.e., in the example above, it should be 4 since it's "pickles", "dog", "bottle" & "rainbow").

If I'm understanding correctly, here you use comma "," as the delimiter. So you would just need to split by "," and count the length.
var myString = Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData("high_string");
var wordCount =0;
wordCount = myString.trim().split(',').length;
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("word_count", wordCount);
Just put this code somewhere after your
high_stringis set. This should work for you as long as comma will not appear in your "word". The variable
wordCountcaptures the number of words there, and the last line sets an embedded data called
word_countto store it.
