Please, disregard this nonsense about the "Non-Overlapping" function:
it is too restrictive and does not produce the desired result.
The first fucntion does work correctly -- at least as far as I can
tell. What I mean by overlapping is that for a sequence such as {1, 1,
0, 1, 1, 0, 1} the function will count 2 subsequences 1101 starting at
1 and 4, respectively. (Note that the beginning of the second sequence
is also the end of the first sequence.)
StringPosition["1101101", "1101"]
{{1, 4}, {4, 7}}
Another possible approach is to convert the numbers into strings and
use the string search functions.
myCount[n_Integer] :=
StringPosition[
ToString[FromDigits[Flatten[IntegerDigits[Range[n], 2]]]],
ToString[FromDigits[IntegerDigits[n, 2]]]][[All, 1]]
myCount[13]
{1, 12, 25, 38}
Sorry for the confusion,
