function countv2(t,v) { var r=new RegExp(v,"g"); return t.match(r).length; } But it's repetition :D

@ValentinHacker: I see just now, but on one hand your "var t,v;" is unnecessary ( these are 2 globals variables, but in my function "t" and "v" are parameters variables ), and on the other hand it's in my code where it's more valid to add a var statement for the "r" variable ;)
