$SubCnt

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.

The $SubCnt function accepts two arguments and returns a numeric result that is the count of occurrences of the second argument string in the first argument string.

The first argument is an arbitrary string.

The second argument is another arbitrary string.

<section begin="syntax" /> %COUNT = $SubCnt(string, substring) <section end="syntax" />

$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.
