Hi All I have a very simple problem and I am looking for the simplest solution.
I have a list of elements in a file. I like to find the total occurance of each element in the list like this 10 string1 7 string2 1 string3 from a list which has only string1,string2 and string3 like this string1 .. string2 ... string1 .. string3 ... ... I have a list of 30000 lines and I think I have only 615 unique elements. So I like the script not to take too much memory of the system. I will be running it on Solaris 8 Thanks a lot -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu "..there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit...try to be in the first group;...less competition there." - Indira Gandhi _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
