Bob's is the cutest of all solutions. Odd, but cute.
But this is a perfect chance to use a simple array:
repeat for each char tChar in yourString
add 1 to countYourChar[tChar]
end repeat
And then get the count from the array.

Aye, but after all, technically, for the question how many times does "pp"

Interesting, doesn't work the way I'd expect with find either. Seems like
looking for pp in pp would find 5 matches. So I guess offset() would
be the way to go if you don't want this eliminative affect.

Was a pretty snazzy solution. Only problem I can see is if you were

There are several ways to do this i'm sure.
If you want to search a field you can use find in a function for the task

The offset() function has a third parameter: chars to skip. So if you call
offset in a loop with the third param set to the previous result, and count
loops until it returns 0, Bob's your uncle.

Is there any way, in the native LiveCode language, to check for the number of
occurrences of one string in another? FOr example:
put substringCount( "p", "apple" )
