Count number of occurrences of a given substring in a string

Question

How can I count the number of times a given substring is present within a string in Python?

For example:

>>> \'foo bar foo\'.numberOfOccurre         


        

Answer 1

import re
d = [m.start() for m in re.finditer(seaching, string)] 
print (d)

This finds the number of times sub string found in the string and displays index.
