How about this: listLen(originalString,characterToCount)-1 No special non standard functions to get. Just bog standard cf tags/functions. This basically pretends that the string you are concerned with is a list, and that the character you want to count is the list delimiter. If the character is in there just once, it will 'split' the string into to list elements, hence why there's a minus one on the end. It would probably be a safe thing to tack an extra character on the front and back of the original string, just to rule out problems that might happen if the character you're counting is the first or last in the string.
Just a thought.
