Letter count in sequence

BDkBDk Member Posts: 3 Newbie
Hi, I'm quite new with the software. I would like to count the number of letter in a random sentence (e.g.:GGGAATCGTCA), e.g. how many 'A' occurred in it and put it into a new column. Is there some operator that could be used for it?  Thank you in advance!

    Hi @BDk

    You can use a Process Documents and split the tokens and specify count occurrences 

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><process version="9.10.011">

    Do I need some extension for this 'process documents' operator? I've an education version of the software and I could not find this operator.
  • BDkBDk Member Posts: 3 Newbie
    OK, found the extension, sorry. It works for 1 row fine, thanks Marco. Could it be multiplied?
    I've a table that has 1000+ rows and all contains a letter sequence like the one that posted above. I would like to count the letters in each one by one. But with the posted solution it only works for 1 row or if I enter all the 1000+ via 'create document' it only counts the letters together in all rows...

    HI @BDk

    You'll need to use a Process Documents or Process Documents from Data or Files it depends on how your data was originally collected.
