Hi folks,

I like to use registers for all processing of this type. Here is an example using 3 registers:

Code:
          SR    2,2        Set counter to zero
          LA    3,String   Start of string
          LA    4,10       Length of string
LOOP      TM    0(3),X'F0' Test if it is a digit
          BNO  *+8         If not a digit, bypass next instruction
          LA    2,1(2)     Add one to counter
          BCT   4,LOOP     Loop the length of the string

Register 2 now contains number of digits.
