So heres the code tangent
Got this off Kurpa cant remember exactly.. but eh..
//count("somestring", "letter")
//function count(s : String, letter : String) : int {
// return s.match(new RegExp(letter,"g")).length;
//}
//function count(s : String, letter : String) : int {
// return s.match(new RegExp(letter,"g")).length;
//}
Heres where I went with that..
//Modded counting function to do more than count a one letter string..
/*function count(str:String, char:String):Number {
var count:Number=0;
for (var i=0; i < str.length; i++) {
var CHECKPOINT:Number=str.indexOf(char, i)
if (CHECKPOINT>=0) {
trace("CHECKPOINT: "+CHECKPOINT+" of "+char)
count++;
i=CHECKPOINT+1;
}
}
return count;
}*/
Final product was this neat little crude function..
function CCEvall(str:String, charA:String, charB:String):Number {
///Count_Compair_eval or CCEvall
var count:Number=0;
var index:Number=0;
var CHECKPOINT:Number;
for (var i1=0; i1 < str.length; i1++) {
CHECKPOINT=str.indexOf(charA,i1)
if (CHECKPOINT>=0) {
trace("CHECKPOINT: "+CHECKPOINT+" of "+charA)
count++;
index=CHECKPOINT;
i1=CHECKPOINT+1;
}
}
for (var i2=0; i2 < str.length; i2++) {
CHECKPOINT=str.indexOf(charB,i2)
if (CHECKPOINT>=0&&count>0) {
trace("CHECKPOINT: "+CHECKPOINT+" of "+charB)
count--;
i2=CHECKPOINT+1;
index=CHECKPOINT;
}
}
return index;
}
And some random bits an the end of my Action script panel.. hmm :/ dont know how they got there.. sweatdrop
//trace(countOccurences(str, char))//Outputs 2
