Count specific word occurrence on page

Question

I have a webpage that has a table of usernames and scores, and it changes weekly based on scores. I just want to have a number of user's shown on my page. My table has multiple 's so using a script to count those will not work.

Every row does have something in common though, the word "Score". So I figured I could just count that word, and return the value. I cannot figure out how to just count that one word after the page is loaded completely.

Help?

Edit: fixed tag

Answer 1

Well that was easy, sorry for the bother.

I have $playerPicks listed in the table, so all I did was use:

echo count($playerPicks);

Answer 2

You can use simple Javascript - which is done on the clients machine, so it'll save server resources.

JSFiddle

var str = document.body.innerText;
var n = str.match(/Score/ig);

• The i flag means case insensitive search
• The g flag means to do a global match (match all occurrences, not just one)
