Count Space, comma and fullstop in a string
 

Hello,

How can i count Count Space, comma and fullstop in a string through macro.

For Ex. if A1= My name is Rahul. Then B1=4
For Ex. if A1= My name is Rahul, my brother's name is NewName & our surname
is Gupta. Then B1 =14

and so on.

Thanks in advance,

Rahul

Rahul,

Use the following function ...

Function CountCharacters(ByVal Str As String) As Long

Dim i As Integer

For i = 1 To Len(Str)
If Mid(Str, i, 1) = " " Or Mid(Str, i, 1) = "," Or Mid(Str, i, 1) =
"." Then
CountCharacters = CountCharacters + 1
End If
Next i

End Function

Count Space, comma and fullstop in a string
 

In the worksheet use a combination of LEN() and SUBSTITUTE():

=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")) will count the number of spaces
=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",","")) will count the number of commas, etc

Hi Rahul,

Try something like:

'=============
Public Sub Tester()
Dim arr As Variant
Dim sStr As String
Dim i As Long
Dim iCtr As Long
Const sStr2 As String = " My name is Rahul, my " _
& "brother's name is NewName & our surname "

sStr = sStr2
arr = Array(" ", ",", ".")

For i = LBound(arr) To UBound(arr)
sStr = Replace(sStr, arr(i), vbNullString)
Next i

iCtr = Len(sStr2) - Len(sStr)

MsgBox iCtr

End Sub
'<<=============

Hello Again Gary,

SUBSTITUTE is not working in VBA? It is a worksheet function, as u have also
mentioned. Any other way?

This method wont help.

Rahul.

But you need to test for errors; there may not be a "," like in the first example.
To put it all in one formula makes it very long and almost unreadable. Best is to use some intermediate cells, if you want a
formula approach rather than a VBA function.
