== Specification ==
It seems to me this could be better specified. For instance this looks likes it is to be run against a source file. However, it could equally be run against an entire library or collection. For instance what are the statistics for a commonly used public library or Rosetta. I know this complicates things and I'm not asking to change the
: The other way to implement this (execution frequency) would also make a good task. I have used such facilities for performance profiling. --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] 16:32, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
:: I assume by ''execution frequency'', you actually meant ''execution count'', as frequency implies how many executions per some period of time. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 22:15, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
:: Also, I misunderstood what the task's author meant when he specified "how often it is ''used'' by the programmer". He probably meant ''specified'' (in the source) instead of actually ''using'' the function. It was the word '''used''' that caused me to program the REXX version for a run-time analysis. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 22:15, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

== Ada ==
In the real world, you probably would not try and write a task like this in Ada because string handling is less flexible than in say Basic. (One of the main authors of Ada admits this). If it would be considered acceptable, I may try and do this in Visual Basic or Delphi. It still would not be trivial so I would not wish to start unless I was assured that It would count.
