If you mean:

   the number of items in "a,b," should be 3 (and not 2)

and

   the number of items in "a,b,c" should be 3

Then, err, no.

Sorry.

To paraphrase Scotty from Star Trek - "I can't change the laws of 
logic",
and nor can you ;)

If you want to use string lists which may contain an empty element
then just make sure you always have a trailing delimiter.

Of course, if you don't mean the above, then you might want to
elaborate :)

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
