VB.net Question

[fredy]

Ok, so i got this program i have to make, i need to find a Character(Textbox1.text) in a 3 string(textbox2.text multiline) and print to a label the number of time that the Character is in the string.
Example :

Char = a
String = I have no car
I am poor
I Suck at Programming

Label1.text =
Phrase 1 A = 2
Phrase 2 A = 1
Phrase 3 A = 2

How do i do this???

It is not likely the best way of doing it. But this will work.

String.Split("a").Length - 1

Even though I would never encourage anyone to do it this way, I somehow like the idea :v:

Just iterate over the string's characters with a for(each) loop and increase a counter for every hit.
I can't give you the exact VB code because only do C#, but there it is along the lines of

string myString = "I have no car";
char myCharacter = 'a';
int myCounter = 0;

foreach (char c in myString)
    if (c == myCharacter)
        myCounter++;

That's actually quite a novel idea, I wouldn't have thought of doing it like that :v:
Have a programming king for ingenuity.
