How to count number of certain words in page.

[multiloser]

So basically, after I "_IEDocReadHTML" of a webpage,

how can I find out how many times "You Win" and "Not You" appear?

I figure I might be able to use StringRegExp by somehow dividing the _IEDocRead up, but I dont know how or what to do.

I have seen other posts that deal with reading from txt documents, but I do not (and cannot) want to create and delete a text file each time this count happens, because it will happen very often.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Nevermind, something along the lines of this works:

StringReplace($function, 'WIN', '')

MsgBox(0, '', @extended)

This will replace all "WIN" 's with nothing, so I'm guessing this isn't what you need. Perhaps try this:

$stringsplit = StringSplit($string, "WIN", 1)
MsgBox(0,"",$stringsplit[0]-1)

$youwin = StringRegExp ($yourstring, 'You Win', 3)
$notyou = StringRegExp ($yourstring, 'Not You', 3)

MsgBox(0, '', UBound($youwin))
MsgBox(0, '', UBound($notyou))

Why? this will not replace anything, this is what he need, because he isn't put the variable at StringReplace, $function will remained untouched, and @extended will return the number of replaces (words that was found(replaced) in the string $function - but the string is not changed).
