✨ NAME ✨

count-substring — it's a strings thing bestie 💖

🎯 PURPOSE 🎯

Counting substrings. That's the whole job. It counts them. Slay.

📜 SYNTAX 📜

count-substring <substring> in <string> to <count> [ case-insensitive [ <case insensitive> ] ]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so here's the tea, bestie 🫖 — count-substring counts how many times <substring> shows up inside <string>, and then it drops that number into <count> (which is the variable you name in the to clause, obvi ✨).

By default the search is case-sensitive — capital letters are NOT the same as lowercase ones, and we respect that.

But if you use the case-insensitive clause without the boolean variable <case insensitive>, or if <case insensitive> evaluates to true? Then the search goes case-insensitive and the vibe is much more chill 🦋.

⚠️ Important one, don't skip it: if <substring> is empty (""), then <count> is 0. Like, nothing to find, nothing to report. Periodt 💀

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

In this example right here, 1 occurrence gets found after the first count-substring, and 2 after the second one (because that one's doing the case-insensitive thing, ikyk 😌):

set-string sub = "world"
set-string str = "Hello world and hello World!"

count-substring sub in str to num_occ
print-format "Found %ld occurrences!\n", num_occ

count-substring sub in str to num_occ case-insensitive
print-format "Found %ld occurrences!\n", num_occ
