You tell us, then.  MySQL doesn't have a function to count the number
of instances of a substring within a string.  At least I don't
think it does.  Does ASP have some kind of function for that?
If so, you can run a SELECT that looks for records containing
br, then use the ASP function to count instances, summed over
each matching record.

RE: How to count the number of ,br's in multiple records

2001-09-16 Thread Will French


something like this (assuming vbscript):

Dim pos = 1
Dim cnt = 0
Do
pos = InStr(field, br, pos)
If pos  0 Then
cnt = cnt + 1
pos = pos + 3 'get past the current one
Else
break
End If
Loop
'at this point, cnt holds your answer

 ASP

That's a framework (or API), not a language.

(see Paul's answer anyway)
