$SubCnt Function

%COUNT is the count of occurrences of substring in string.

For example

%JUNK = $SubCnt('ABCDABAB', 'AB')

would set %JUNK to 3 and

%JUNK = $SubCnt('WE HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH', - 'WEHAVE')

would set %JUNK to 0 and

%JUNK = $SubCnt('WE HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH', 'E')

would set %JUNK to 4.
