c# - Count of tokens in string -

i wondering why following code returns 1 instead of 2. clue? in advance.

string report = "foo bar foo aloha hole hole foo cat gag weird gag strange tourist"; string name = "hole";  int count = regex.matches(report, @"(^|\s)" + regex.escape(name) + @"(\s|$)").count; console.writeline("count " + c); 

if you're trying learn regex, cool, disregard this.

otherwise, regex overkill that's simple using other methods (like linq):

var count = report.split().count(x => x == name);
