Train or car from Frankfurt airport to Strasbourg

I%26#39;m hoping someone can advise me on the ease and cost of train travel between the Frankfurt airport (international) and Strasbourg. I%26#39;m wondering how often trains leave for the Strasbourg area and the cost of the ride. From my reading, it seems that the trip can be made in about 3 hours w/1 or 2 stops, but I can%26#39;t find how often the train departs and the cost.

From: FRA

To: Strasbourg

The trains are leaving from the airport%26#39;s long distance railway station (Fernbahnhof):

→ getting to/from → %26quot;by train%26quot;

Regular fare is € 49,20. If you like to get a saving fare, buy a ticket to %26quot;Kehl Bahnhof%26quot;, which is the last stop in Germany. In this case you%26#39;ll have to buy an additional ticket for the portion Kehl-Strasbourg.(2 stops) The additional ticket is either available at the airport%26#39;s ticket window, or, at a surcharge, on the train.

If there are several people travelling together, you could utilize the %26quot;Laender tickets%26quot; for Hesse and Baden-Wuerttemberg, but as you%26#39;d have to stick to local trains only, the trip would take 4 hours at least.

Thank you ... I wish I had your understanding of the German rail system! Could you also tell me how often the train leaves? I%26#39;m trying to book a flight that arrives at a time convenient to catching the train.
