PARSECOUNT wrong?

[Joe Speroni]

The PARSECOUNT function seems to give a
result 1 too large in the following program.
Is this a known problem or simply a
definition error in the documentation?
---------------------------------------------
#COMPILE EXE
FUNCTION PBMAIN() AS LONG
TEXT$="AAAA"
PRINT PARSECOUNT(TEXT$,"A")
PRINT PARSECOUNT(TEXT$,"B")
PRINT PARSECOUNT(TEXT$,"")
END FUNCTION

[Lance Edmonds]

TEXT$="AAAA"
PRINT PARSECOUNT(TEXT$,"A")

This will return 5, because there are 4 "separators" which means that there are 5 "fields", hence PARSECOUNT will correctly return 5.

Sorry I raised it, Lance. The documentation is unambiguous.

The examples in the manual for PARSECOUNT
should be fixed; they are the same as for
the PARSE$ function and obviously wrong.
