Counting the number of occurrences of a string within a string
One way to do is to use std::string find function: #include <string> #include <iostream> int main() { int occurrences = 0; std::string::size_type pos = 0; std::string s = “FooBarFooBarFoo”; std::string target = “Foo”; while ((pos = s.find(target, pos )) != std::string::npos) { ++ occurrences; pos += target.length(); } std::cout << occurrences << std::endl; }
