occurancesCount = 0
i = 1

foundPosition = InStr(i, baseString, subString) 'searching from i position
If foundPosition > 0 Then 'substring is found at foundPosition index
occurancesCount = occurancesCount + 1 'count this occurance
i = foundPosition + 1 'searching from i+1 on the next cycle

Loop While foundPosition <> 0
findOccurancesCount = occurancesCount
End Function
