I'm the biggest fan there is of arrays - but for this problem an array
looks like overkill - see the simple code below.
(btw - not actually tested, so beware typos)
put empty into tCounted
put empty into tLast
repeat for each line L in tData
if L = tLast then
add 1 to tCount
else
If you're using an sql db:
SELECT , count(*) AS C FROM GROUP BY < thewordnumber
> ORDER BY C DESCENDING
Returns the word numbers and count sorted by count high to low.

Thanks Kay!
That’s what I needed. I knew it was pretty simple, but my unfamiliarity with

This might get you started, in the msg box:
put "3,5,6,6,24,24,24,33,130,109" into tData
--if the data comes from the db as seperate lines, then
--repeat for each line tRecord in tData
--if data comes in from db as a list
repeat for each item tRecord in tData
add 1 to aCount[tRecord]
end repeat

Hi All…
I am attempting to get the total number of times specific words in a text
passage are selected by students. The way I’m doing this is by recording the
word numbers selected by each student and storing them in a database. I end up
with list of numbers representing the selected words, so
