Is there any way to count the number of times a character occurs in a selection?
Submitted by Anonymous on Thursday, 7 October, 2004 - 15:05
Title sums up my quesiton. I try Search and Replace and when I enter the character in the Search field and click find it ALWAYS says there is only one occurrence when I can plainly see several.

I also do not see anything in the text tools plugin or other standard JEdit functionality.

Seems like a pretty simple task. Am I missing something here?

You can for example replace all occurences of the character with it and jEdit prints then the number of replaced (in fact not) characters.
