Line 192:
public static int countSubstring(String subStr, String str){
return (str.length() - str.replace(subStr, "").length()) / subStr.length();
}
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println(countSubstring("th", "the three truths"));
System.out.println(countSubstring("abab", "ababababab"));
System.out.println(countSubstring("a*b", "abaabba*bbaba*bbab"));
}
}</lang>
Output:
<pre>3
2
2</pre>

The "split and count" method:
<lang java>import java.util.regex.Pattern;
public class CountSubstring {
public static int countSubstring(String subStr, String str){
// the result of split() will contain one more element than the delimiter
// the "-1" second argument makes it not discard trailing empty strings
return str.split(Pattern.quote(subStr), -1).length - 1;
}
