Occurrences of substring in a string

Question

Why is the following algorithm not halting for me? (str is the string I am searching in, findStr is the string I am trying to find)

String str = \"helloslkhe         


        

Answer 1

The answer given as correct is no good for counting things like line returns and is far too verbose. Later answers are better but all can be achieved simply with

str.split(findStr).length

It does not drop trailing matches using the example in the question.
