[Gambas-user] Counting characters

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

Hi all,

just a short question: Is there a function which simply counts how many 
times a character appears within a string? I vaguely remember a long 
time ago I used such a thing, but it may as well have been in another 
context.

The only way I have found yet was using Split() and then count the 
number of resulting parts -1 IF it is more than 0.

Any better way?

Rolf
