how to count certain words

[szepesg]

Hello All!

There is a text I want to process. The name Horch appeares 4 or 5 times. The question is: how can I count the number of appearences with a Perl program?
Thank you for your answer in advance.

print $count;

Rajiv,

First, Please use code tags around your code that gets posted. You've been around a little while and should really know this.

Second, because this sounds like something that would be asked on homework, I personally would not have given an answer. It is this sites policy not to answer homework outright and we are not a coding service. It would have been more beneficial to the OP if he or she were asked to post the code that they have tried to do their task, rather then to just give them the code. That way, they learn something and they don't get the A+ for your work.
