Quick question: substring count

[IRABYY]

Fellows, quick question:

is there in VFP 7.0 some "native" function which counts the number of occurences of one string in another string?

WAW, say, I need to count how many THs are in the ALPHA BETHA THETHA KSI, for instance?

Sure, OCCURS().

xx = "ALPHA BETHA THETHA KSI"
?OCCURS("TH", xx)

Should print 3.

Sure, OCCURS().


I'll be damned!

I was searching the help on "str" and "count"! Something in the back of my mind told me I have seen it somewhere, but I could not recall...

Thank you, Rick, very much!

Issue is solved, case is closed.
