Also, if you knew before, that you would have to add one to the number 
of delimiters
to get the correct number of tokens, and you "only" wondered, how to get 
the number
of delimiters, you could have used the methodfinder:
Just take one and type

'a,b,c,c,,' . $, . 5 (Alt-S)

(reads: which method in String or superclasses of String takes $. as a 
parameter
and gives 5 as a result, if applied to 'a,b,c,c,,')

and it will give you

occurrencesOf:
