STR.CountAny

Counts Occurrences of Individual Characters in a String

 

 

Intention

 

This command is used to count the occurrences of individual characters within a source string using the ANY-CHARACTER option.

Each character in the match string is considered individually, and the count is incremented for each occurrence of that character in the source string.

•The command is case-sensitive.

•If the match string is not present in the source string, zero is returned.

•Repeated characters in the match string do not increase the count. For example, STR.CountAny|ABCD|BDB|$$CNT would return "2", not "3".

 

 

 

Syntax

 

 

STR.CountAny|P1|P2[|P3]

 

 

 

Parameter Explanation

 

•P1 - (Source String) The main string in which to count occurrences.

•P2 - (Match String) The characters to count, considered individually.

•P3 - (Optional) Variable for the result. If omitted, the result is placed on TOS (Top Of Stack).
