How can I count strings within strings

I'm trying yo count the number of occurances of a string in a variable string
e.g look for "VVN" in TDCS0/VVN/8375 or mycompany/VVN/8375 or even
mycompany/TDCS0/VVN/8375. The text does not appear in the same location each
time. so what i am looking for is countif(a1/a96="VVN anywhere in this
string")

Excel 2002
