Counting the number of specific characters in a string in velocity script for email

Question

I'm building a html email and in a token I have a string field which has a list of up to 7 phone numbers in it, each phone number separated by a comma, e.g:

01234567, 01234567, 01234567, 01234567

I need to be able to replace the last comma in the string with ' and' instead of the comma. What would be the best way of doing it?

Your subject line seems at odds with your question — this doesn’t have to do with counting, right?

It sounds like you want to split the string into an array and then display the array in a “friendly” way.

${display.list($lead.someStringField.split("\s*,\s*"))}
