Count Space(s) in a string [duplicate]

Question

I have a string "John Doe's iPhone6"

Visually, I know that it contains 2 spaces.

How do I count spaces in a string in javascript ?

I've tried

var input = this.value;
// console.log(input.count(' '));

Answer 1

Try this

var my_string = "John Doe's iPhone6";
var spaceCount = (my_string.split(" ").length - 1);
console.log(spaceCount)
