I have the following XML response which I converted to text:
let XMLText = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<BlockList>
<CommittedBlocks>
<Block>
<Name>BlockId001</Name>
<Size>4194304</Size>
</Block>
<Block>
<Name>BlockId002</Name>
<Size>4194304</Size>
</Block>
</CommittedBlocks>
</BlockList>'
now I am trying to find and count size: 4194304 from the text
I have tried using the search function but it only return the position of the string I am looking for
for example, following function returns 177, which is the position of the string
XMLText.search("4194304")
Using regex, this is relatively easy to do. Make your target string a capture group by putting it in parentheses and then count how many matches it has:
let numOfOccurrences = XMLText.match(/(4194304)/).length
