Count occurrences of a substring: Difference between revisions

=={{header|Groovy}}==

Solution, uses the Groovy "match" operator (=~), and the Groovy-extended Matcher property "count":

<lang groovy>println (('the three truths' =~ /th/).count)

println (('ababababab' =~ /abab/).count)

println (('abaabba*bbaba*bbab' =~ /a*b/).count)

println (('abaabba*bbaba*bbab' =~ /a\*b/).count)</lang>

Output:

<pre>3

2
