I had a need for a small function that counts how often a certain word (or character sequence) existed in a give string.
This is what I cam up with, hope it's useful for someone :

...
uses ..., strutils, ...;
...

function CountOccurrences(ASubString: string; AString: string): integer;
var
  offset: integer;
begin
  result := 0;
  offset := PosEx(ASubString, AString, 1);
  while offset <> 0 do
    begin
      inc(result);
      offset := PosEx(ASubString, AString, offset + length(ASubString));
    end;
end;
