如何：对某个词在某一字符串中出现的次数进行计数 (LINQ) (Visual Basic)

此示例演示如何使用 LINQ 查询对指定词在字符串中出现的次数进行计数。 请注意，若要执行计数，首先需调用 Split 方法来创建词数组。 Split 方法存在性能开销。 如果只需要统计字符串的字数，则应考虑改用 Matches 或 IndexOf 方法。 但是，如果性能不是关键问题，或者已拆分句子以对其执行其他类型的查询，则使用 LINQ 来计数词或短语同样有意义。

示例

Class CountWords

    Shared Sub Main()

        Dim text As String = "Historically, the world of data and the world of objects" &
                  " have not been well integrated. Programmers work in C# or Visual Basic" &
                  " and also in SQL or XQuery. On the one side are concepts such as classes," &
                  " objects, fields, inheritance, and .NET Framework APIs. On the other side" &
                  " are tables, columns, rows, nodes, and separate languages for dealing with" &
                  " them. Data types often require translation between the two worlds; there are" &
                  " different standard functions. Because the object world has no notion of query, a" &
                  " query can only be represented as a string without compile-time type checking or" &
                  " IntelliSense support in the IDE. Transferring data from SQL tables or XML trees to" &
                  " objects in memory is often tedious and error-prone."

        Dim searchTerm As String = "data"

        ' Convert the string into an array of words.
        Dim dataSource As String() = text.Split(New Char() {" ", ",", ".", ";", ":"},
                                                 StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)

        ' Create and execute the query. It executes immediately
        ' because a singleton value is produced.
        ' Use ToLower to match "data" and "Data"
        Dim matchQuery = From word In dataSource
                      Where word.ToLowerInvariant() = searchTerm.ToLowerInvariant()
                      Select word

        ' Count the matches.
        Dim count As Integer = matchQuery.Count()
        Console.WriteLine(count & " occurrence(s) of the search term """ &
                          searchTerm & """ were found.")

        ' Keep console window open in debug mode.
        Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.")
        Console.ReadKey()
    End Sub
End Class
' Output:
' 3 occurrence(s) of the search term "data" were found.
