Count occurrences of one string in another
Most Sirius $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. There is currently no OO equivalent for the $SubCnt function.
This function counts the occurrences of one string in another.
Syntax
<section begin="syntax" />%count = $SubCnt(string, substring) <section end="syntax" />
Syntax terms
| %count | The count of occurrences of substring in string. |
|---|---|
| string | An arbitrary string. |
| substring | Another arbitrary string. |
Examples
The following statement would set %JUNK to 3:
%JUNK = $SubCnt('ABCDABAB', 'AB')
This statement would set %JUNK to 0:
%JUNK = $SubCnt('WE HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH', 'WEHAVE')
And this statement would set %JUNK to 4:
%JUNK = $SubCnt('WE HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH', 'E')
