Skip,
Haven't tested, but pope about this...
function getUniqueNames inData,pColumn
put "" into uNames
set the itemDel to tab
repeat for each line l in inData
add 1 to uNames[item pColumn of l]
end repeat
return uNames
end getUniqueNames
You should get back an array keyed by the unique names, and how many instances
of each one

Good afternoon LC'ers,
I am loading a tab delimited file into a variable and I need to pull out
all unique names from a certain column (let's say column 10) and count how
many times that name appears in that column.
I know there has to be an easy way of doing it. Every time I try to start
coding this it get waaaayyy too long :)
Simple approach?
