[Gambas-user] Function to count substrings

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

Thanks Julio,

good idea! - but: isn't this a bit too much? After all, you have to 
instantiate a string[] for it each time, even though you don't see it. 
Or am I wrong? At least when it has to be called many times (for a table 
like in my case).

Regards
Rolf
