Could CountString get the same Mode parameter as FindString please?

Help wrote:#PB_String_CaseSensitive: case sensitive search (a=a) (default).
#PB_String_NoCase : case insensitive search (A=a).

I currently have to have two copies of a string around for counting, original case and lower case.

In the meantime, this works without any duplication:

Code: Select all

Debug CountString(UCase("How many 'ow' contains Bow ?"), "OW") ; will display 3

Of course, but it's an optimisation that it would be nice to have available and makes the two commands consistent.
