In VBScript you can do this:

Dim FindChr
Dim MyString
Dim CurChr
Dim Chrs
Dim A

FindChr = "B"
MyString = "ABCABCABCA"

Do

A = A + 1
CurChr = Mid(MyString, A, 1)
If CurChr = FindChr Then Chrs = Chrs + 1

Loop until A = len(MyString)

call MsgBox(Chrs)

Function countchar(text, letter)

Dim length, currentletter

length = len(text)

For i = 1 to length

currentletter = mid(text, i, 1)

if currentletter = letter Then

countchar = countchar + 1

End if

End Function

response.write countchar(variable, "A")
