Counting number of each item in a list.

[sophie_newbie]

I have a list a little something like this:

StringA
StringC
StringB
StringA
StringC
StringD
StringA
...
etc.

Basically I was wondering if there was an easy way to return how many
of each string are in the list, something like this:

StringA - 3
StringB - 1
StringC - 2
StringD - 1

I suppose that the easiest way to do that is to convert it to a 2
dimensional array? Is there any easy way?

Thanks.
