agree with you.. can be lit modified to get desired result.
i am not sure is this best way of doing it or not. just another try...Smilie

Code:
awk -F, 'gsub("[a-z0-9],","&") > 4' file

That will not work correctly for non-empty last fields (and fields with uppercase and/or extended ascii characters Smilie )

This will not count non-empty first fields, no?
