A couple of options: Loop over the text using find() or findnocase(). More code, may be faster.
Use refind() or refindnocase() to find all the matches (return an array of them) and then get the arraylen() of what it returns. Easier code, but it will likely run slower. --Ben Doom Web Exp wrote: > Hi.
