So I am using the code:

string.count(" ")

But when it runs the code it gives the error:

Method 'count' is not declared on base 'String'.

I checked the godot engine docs and count() is a thing yet it won’t work for me. I also tried

"    ".count(" ")

In the _ready(): function as well and still got the same error. Any help would be appreciated

I tried it by myself:

func _ready():
	var string : String = "Bla Bla Bla"
	print(string.count(" "))
	print("Blubber".count("b"))

is working fine and prints

as expected.
Can you show more code, maybe the error is somewhere else.
