Re: Getting the count of a particular alphabet using subroutine

sub countt{
    ...
    my @arraystr =split(//,$string);#split the string acc. to each  al
+phabet and pass it to the array. 
    foreach my $alpha($string){
        if ($alpha =~ /t/i){ # if 't' is found
            $count++;        #increment the count
            return $count;   # 
        }
}

If you want to stick to your own approach, I see two issues with your original code:

you create an array, but don't use it ... maybe you want to use arraystr in your loop
inside the loop, you have the return; this ends your subroutine before all elements have been processed; you will want to move the return behind the loop...

And another one way `$string='Put your text'; $count++ while($string=~ m{t}g);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
