but do you maybe mean something like the following? (here under "string" the
exact wording "string" is meant; obviously any section of the input string
will be a string too)

>>> fun_string = "string string string non-string non-string string"
>>> fun_words = fun_string.split()
>>> fun_words
['string', 'string', 'string', 'non-string', 'non-string', 'string']
>>> strings_from_fun_words = [word for word in fun_words if word ==
"string"]
>>> strings_from_fun_words
['string', 'string', 'string', 'string']
>>> len(fun_words)
6
>>> len(strings_from_fun_words)
4
>>>
