Counting Characters

[jliz2803]

I am trying to count the number of "\" in my streamreader.readline how would I go about doing this?

 

[jliz2803]

this is what I have so far

If txtreadfile.Text = "\" Then
CountSlashes += 1
End If

You could try something like this:

txtreadfile.Text.Split("\").Length()

Or like this:

Dim objRegEx As System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex
Dim intCount As Integer

intCount = objRegEx.Matches("My \\d o \g is sick\\\\\\", "[\\]").Count

objRegEx= nothing
