static int	countSplits(java.lang.String inStr, java.lang.String splitStr)	Counts the number of times the matching string appears in the given string An instance of the split as the first substring does not count as a match, as a real "split" cannot occur if there is nothing infront of it.
static java.lang.String[]	splitter(java.lang.String inStr, java.lang.String splitStr)	This method splits the given string into an array of strings separated
static double	stringToDouble(java.lang.String input)	This method converts the numeric portion of a String to an Int.

                                          java.lang.String splitStr)

This method splits the given string into an array of strings separated

Parameters:

Returns:

An array of strings containing the split text

countSplits

public static int countSplits(java.lang.String inStr,
                              java.lang.String splitStr)

Counts the number of times the matching string appears in the given string An instance of the split as the first substring does not count as a match, as a real "split" cannot occur if there is nothing infront of it.

Parameters:

inStr - The main string to compare against

splitStr - The matching portions to find

Returns:

A count of the number of times splitStr appears within inStr
