It would have been better to show what you had tried so we can see your preferred style/tools etc. That way we would find a solution that you could understand better when you come back to the code in a few years time for any reason.

In any case, another option (and there will be plenty more:-

If you want to find rows with fewer that 4 delimiters, try this variation:-
This will find any rows with four commas and then the -v flag will exclude them, so you get anything less than four reported.
