## Signature

```c
int _STRING_SPLIT_AND_COUNT_SEGMENTS(const char* inputString, const char* delimiters);

## Parameters

- `inputString` (`const char*`)
- `delimiters` (`const char*`)

## Returns

`int`

## Description

*Source: alloc8or RDR3 NativeDB*

Counts the number of segments in a string separated by specified delimiters, ignoring consecutive delimiters.
Example usage: int count = MISC::_STRING_SPLIT_AND_COUNT_SEGMENTS("qadr_ui-qadr_ui;qadr_ui,qadr_ui.qadr_ui;qadr_ui-", "-,;."); // Returns 6

*Source: VORPCORE RDR3natives*

Not officially named 
, Counts the number of segments in a string that are separated by specified delimiter characters, ignoring consecutive delimiters.

## Usage

### Lua

```lua
local retval = StringSplitAndCountSegments(inputString, delimiters)

-- always available, by hash
local retval = Citizen.InvokeNative(0x94E8CA3DEE952789, inputString, delimiters, Citizen.ResultAsInteger())
```

### JavaScript

```js
const retval = StringSplitAndCountSegments(inputString, delimiters);

// by hash
const retval = Citizen.invokeNative('0x94E8CA3DEE952789', inputString, delimiters, Citizen.returnResultAnyway(), Citizen.resultAsInteger());
```

### C#

```csharp
int retval = Function.Call<int>((Hash)0x94E8CA3DEE952789, inputString, delimiters);
```

- The name is a community guess and may change. If the named call is missing in your client build, use `InvokeNative` with the hash — it always works.

## Examples

*Source: VORPCORE RDR3natives*

```lua
local count = N_0x94e8ca3dee952789('AAA_BB-AAA_BB;AAA_BB,AAA_BB.AAA_BB;AAA_BB-', '-,;.');
// Returns 6, counts all segments separated by '-', ',', ';', or '.', while ignoring consecutive delimiters.
