Hello everyone,
I want to count how many specified letter in a string,
such as:
%let have=123#45#678#9; we need to count how many '#' in the string.
in this case there are total three '#' in the string.
Thanks
data one;
a="123#45#678#9";
b=somefunction(a,'#');
run;
How about countc()?
data one;
a="123#45#678#9";
b=countc(a,'#');
put b=;
run;
data one;
a="123#45#678#9";
b=count(a,'#');
run;
