Execute the following on cmd line as follows
$./cnt.pl <string> ,
You can replace the comma (,) on the command line to find any other
character's occurrence in the string
_______________________
#!/usr/bin/perl
for(;$i<length($ARGV[0]);$i++) {
$str[i] = substr($ARGV[0],$i,1);
if($str[i] eq $ARGV[1]) {
$cnt++;
}
}
print $cnt;

Subject: Variable question
Hi everybody. I am a new user and my first question to this list is
probably a very simple one. I am trying to count the number of commas
in a variable. The book I am learning from doesn't cover specific
information like that. Thanks for any help.
