on cnt inList
testList = inList.duplicate()
testList.sort()
outPList = [:]
pCount = testList.count
repeat with i = 1 to pCount
pTarget = testList [i]
outPList[string(pTarget)] = outPList[string(pTarget)] + 1

Hi,
How is the best way to count the occurrences of values in a list? I have a
list with 6000+ random generated numbers and I need to count how many times
each of one appear.
Thank's in advance
