asked on

counting occurence(s)

I've got 2 variables named $one and $two.
$one contains a whole sentence, for example:

$one="The cat is never far from home";

$two contains some characters, for example:

$two="The e o";

Now I want to count the occurences of each character/word of $two in $one.
For example:
'The' should give as result 1, because the word The occures one time in $one
'e' should give as result 3, because the character 'e' occures three times in $one
'o' should give a result 2, because the character 'o' occures two times in $one

Which lines do I need for this ?
