ZLEXCOUNT

Count members in lex range.
2 min read

Use ZLEXCOUNT to count the members of a sorted set that fall in a lexicographic range.

Bounds are written as [member for inclusive and (member for exclusive, with - and + standing for the lowest and highest possible members, so ZLEXCOUNT key [a (c counts members from a up to but not including c.

Lexicographic ordering only holds when every member of the set has the same score, which is the trick behind using a sorted set as a sorted index of strings; with mixed scores the result is not meaningful. Use ZRANGEBYLEX or ZRANGE with BYLEX to retrieve the members themselves.

Note

Client libraries often decode bulk strings, maps, sets, and numeric strings into language-native values. The table describes the Redis wire reply.

Examples#

TCP examples use the TLS REDIS_URL from the Upstash console. REST examples use UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL and UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN.
