StackOverflow does not write code for you. If this is what you want, try other sites such as fiverr or elance. Please post the code that you have tried and an explanation of why your attempts are not working – jasonscript Mar 17 '15 at 04:48

I have used /([a-zA-Z])+(,[a-zA-Z]+)/ and ^[a-zA-Z_,0-9\.]+$ – Vikrant Vir Bhalla Mar 17 '15 at 04:48

Why not just split by `/ *, */g` and count the resulting tokens. – anubhava Mar 17 '15 at 04:57

@VikrantVirBhalla you're not matching the spaces. `\s` should do that. – Johannes Egger Mar 17 '15 at 06:33

^[^,\n]+,(?:[^,\n]+,?)*$
You can use this.Replace * by {1,2} if you want only 3 words.See demo.
^[^,\n]+,(?:[^,\n]+,?){0,2}$
https://regex101.com/r/bW3aR1/11
var re = /^[^,\n]+(?:,[^,\n]+)*$/gm;
var str = 'New York, New York, United States\nNew York, New York\nNew York\nNew York, New York, United States,';
var m;
while ((m = re.exec(str)) != null) {
if (m.index === re.lastIndex) {
re.lastIndex++;
}
// View your result using the m-variable.
// eg m[0] etc.
}
