Counting how many times a certain char appears in a string before any other char appears

Question

I have many strings. Each string is prepended with at least 1 $. What is the best way to loop through the chars of each string to count how many $\

Answer 1

public static int GetHowManyTimeOccurenceCharInString(string text, char c)
{
    int count = 0;
    foreach(char ch in text)
    {
        if(ch.Equals(c))
        {
            count++;
        }

    }
    return count;
}
