Jan 8, 2021 at 18:28 comment added Ed Morton If START can really be STA*RT or similar with regexp metachars or typical delimiters then show that as your sample input/output rather than just the sunny-day alphabetic chars case.

Jan 8, 2021 at 16:21 comment added GeoCap No, there is only one START, curly brackets can be nested, but they're always in pairs. Of course there could be more text or more brackets.
Jan 8, 2021 at 16:16 comment added Ed Morton Can the real text indicated by your placeholders some text, more text, almost there, or nothing important include any of START, {, or }? For example if this were a programming lanaguage you were trying to parse then there might be strings (e.g. "{" or "where is START?") or comments (# { or // { or // not really START) including any of those but which you would not want to consider when counting.
