Re: Counting # of specific characters in string/text

Using length differences only works when counting a character or string of characters. It does not work when counting words. In Keith’s example “Time” as a word does not exist in the text passed to $a. “The” is another example as it only occurs twice, but the code will return 3. John > On May
