using strings

dim as ustring csv = "a,b,,c"

print Tally( csv, "," )              '' 3 -- one per separator
print Tally( "aaaa", "aa" )          '' 2 -- occurrences never overlap
print Tally( "Hello", "L", true )    '' 2 -- ignoreCase
print Tally( csv, "" )               '' 0 -- an empty match counts nothing
