The call was made:
Var
NilCount : Integer;

Begin
NilCount := Count('Nil',[KPHX][123548]Niles][Nil][United States][62.458][-123.458]);

Thus I think you would expect a return value of 1;
Why 1, there are two, see:
[KPHX][123548]Niles][Nil][United States][62.458][-123.458]

Why would you doubt my code?
I'm always 100% error free, as everybody around here knows  O:-)

You can always make use of the many string functions included with Free Pascal:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. program TestApp;
  2.  
  3. uses strutils;
  4.  
  5. var
  6.   x, y: integer;
  7.   SearchFor, SearchIn: string;
  8.  
  9. begin
  10.    y:=1;
  11.    SearchFor:='cat';
  12.    searchIn:= 'thecatibthezcatzbwcatwcatacatycatoidxcatzokay';
  13.    repeat
  14.       x:=nPos(SearchFor, SearchIn, y);
  15.       if x>0
  16.          then
  17.             writeln (SearchFor,' found at: ',x);
  18.       inc(y);
  19.    until x=0;
  20. end.

I miss the helper solution:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.  
  2. {$mode objfpc}{$H+}
  3. uses sysutils;
  4. var
  5.   i:SizeInt = 0;
  6.   c:integer = 0;
  7.   s1:string = 'catthecatibthezcatzbwcatwcatacatycatoidxcatzokay';
  8.   s2:string = 'cat';
  9. begin  
  10.   repeat
  11.     i:=s1.IndexOf(s2,i);
  12.     if i > -1 then
  13.     begin
  14.       inc(c);
  15.       writeln(i:4,c:4);
  16.       inc(i);
  17.     end;
  18.   until i < 0;
  19. end.

Specialize a type, not a var.
