Sorry, the search command send cursor where occurence is found : here
=> ;;

cursor is here
|
V
;foo1;foo;;bar => should return 3

I have done this little func but using while and procedural don't
satisfy me.

function! CountCharBeforeCursor(searchedChar)
let l:c = a:searchedChar
let l:cpt = 0
while col('.') > col('^') + 1
normal h
if getline('.')[col('.')] ==? l:c
let l:cpt += 1
endif
endwhile
return l:cpt
endfunction

Now I know exactly how many ; are between my cursor and the begin of
line.

NB : in fact I have to search the nth ; at the line just before.
How can I jump directly to the third ; at the previous line ?
