Default Count Instances of a Specific Character

here's what I am trying to do - I am trying to split up a cell based
on it's contents. While the data is in the same order in the column
and it is delimited by a space, it doesn't work to delimit it by
spaces or by number of charatcers.

The problem is that between the delimiters there may be 1 or 2 words -
separated by a comma and the data may be of variable length.

Is there a way to Count the Instances of a Specific Character - for
example, is there a function to count the number of spaces in this
sentence? Or the number of x's?
