string.count issue (simple)

[Michael Peuser]

Hello Halfdan,

it is a pity that you did not copy&paste the code in question.
What you posted cannot work - count has no keyword parameters!

On the other hand the use of find AND count is quite redundant...

This snippet works fine:

  count = 0
  for eachLine in allLines:
      count += eachLine.count(word)

Kindly
Michael P
