If you will replace comma(,) with newline then you can use awk to get number of occurrence of 'abc' like this :-

cat testfile | tr "," "\n" | awk /abc/ | wc -l

sed 's/,/\n/g' testfile | awk /abc/ |wc -l

try this........
awk '{x=0;for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)if($i == "abc" )x++; print x}' abc

in case, ur file is a comma delimited one, then.....
awk -F, '{x=0;for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)if($i == "abc" )x++; print x}' abc

if you have Python
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
s="abc,def,ghi,abc,def ,ghi,abc,def,ghi,abc,def ,ghi,abc"
print s.count("abc")

or at the shell
Code:
# s="abc,def,ghi,abc,def ,ghi,abc,def,ghi,abc,def ,ghi,abc"
# echo $s | python -c "print raw_input().count('abc')"

Code:
awk 'BEGIN{RS=","}{if($0=="abc"){x += 1}}END{print x}' filename
