How select the top index in text

[olgahvesko]

Good afternoon!
I have a text that has an asterisk top index.
For example, 4**, 5****, 6*
I need to select these *** and calculate their number.
Can you please tell me how this can be done?
Do I have to use Regex for this? and if so, which one?

Hi there, @olgahvesko… if you are trying to get a count of the asterisks in a string, one way you could go is to take the number of characters in the original string and subtract the number of characters in the string where you have used the :find & replace operator to replace the asterisks with nothing. So, something like this…

Hope this helps.

Best…
Mike

Yes, that is helped. Thank you very much!
