Return Total of a Given Repeated Number in a List

[Mike Kerner]

just spitballing:
let's call our containers "tSearchingFor" and "tSearchString"

*set* the itemDelimiter to comma & tSearchString & comma

*put* the number of items in tSearchingFor - 1 into tNum

*if* tSearchString begins with tSearchingFor & comma *then* *add* 1 to tNum

*if* tSearchString ends with comma & tSearchingFor *then* *add* 1 to tNum

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
