how to counts the character in string [Resolved]

Hi,
Check this code

   public static int result;

public static int countofrepeatedchar(string inputstring, char ch)

        {

            char[] Inputstring = inputstring.ToCharArray();

            char Ch = ch;

            int cntofchar = Inputstring.Length;

                foreach (char chr in Inputstring)

                {

                    if (chr == Ch)

                    {

                        result++;

                    }

        

            }





            return result;

        }

   int resy = countofrepeatedchar("Narayanan",'a');

            MessageBox.Show(resy.ToString());

Output:
4.

Use a regular expression to count the occurrence

 string inputString= "Testinggg";

            string CharacterToFind = "g";

            Regex exp = new Regex(CharacterToFind, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);

            int noOfOccurrences = exp.Matches(inputString).Count;

Please add the namespace 'using System.Text.RegularExpressions' on top...!!!

Hope this works for you...

Hi ,
Try this.

 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        int count = 0;

        string st = "sanjay";

        foreach (char a in st)

        {

         

            if (char.Equals(a,'a'))

            {

                count++;

            }

        }

        Response.Write(count.ToString());

    }

Thanks,
Sanjay

hi raj
i get this error
Operator '==' cannot be applied to operands of type 'string' and 'char'
and it not possible for

if (s == c) 

{ 

co++; 

} 

this condition because string and char not same

Console.WriteLine(SearchDemo.CharOccurs(str, chr));
Console.Read();

}

public static int CharOccurs(string stringToSearch, char charToFind)
{
int count = 0;
char[] chars = stringToSearch.ToCharArray();
foreach (char c in chars)
{
if (c == charToFind)
{
count++;
}
}
return count;
