listCount function

Syntax

  • string listCount(stringList, searchString)

Parameters

  1. stringListstring
  2. searchStringstring

Returns

Returns number of occurrences of searchString in stringList.

Description

The listCount function returns the number of occurrences of searchString in the stringList. Optional: leading or trailing * in searchString are used as wildcard.

Note:

Stringlists are a series of strings stored inside one string. The elements are separated by a semicolon (";"). Each item must be followed by a semicolon, also the last one! The data type is "string", thus it is not an array as used in other scripting languages.
