Afternoon all,

I have the following problem:

I have an array containing a list of non-unique strings. eg:

@array Contains:

111111_
222222_
333333_
333333_
333333_
444444_
444444_
555555_

What I would like to do is number each element of the array to look as
follows:

111111_1
222222_1
333333_1
333333_2
333333_3
444444_1
444444_2
555555_1

I have so far tried to use "exists", while loops and all the usual stuff as
it seemed very simple at first. My attempts have mostly focused on equating
the current element of the array with the previous one and asking if they
are equal and then taking action. I just can't get the logic right though.
I keep getting them all numbered sequentially from 1 to 10 or they all end
in "_2" or alternating "_1" and "_2" If anybody could shed even the
smallest glimmer of light on how to solve this I'd be really grateful.

Thanks,
James.
