This is a handy Java method that will count the number of instances of a substring within the String object.
public static int countIndexOf(String content, String search) { int ctr = -1; int total = 0; while (true) { if (ctr == -1) ctr = content.indexOf(search); else ctr = content.indexOf(search, ctr); if (ctr == -1) { break; } else { total++; ctr += search.length(); } } return total; }
