Re: like a "for loop" for a string

[Alexnb]

Basically I want the code to be able to pick out how many strings there are
and then do something with each, or the number. When I say string I mean how
many "strings" are in the string "string string string non-string string"

Does that help?

What do you mean by "string"?

foo = "abc abc cde abc ijk abc cde abc"

"foo" is one "string". If you want substrings, specify what kind of substrings
you mean. All occurences of "abc", for example.

there are
and then do something with each, or the number. When I say string I mean how
many "strings" are in the string "string string string non-string string"

Do you mean something like "count and return all occurences of the substring
'abc' in foo"? Looks like you should use the re module.
