I have the following output, and each value that is separated by comma is a variable:
servera,serverb,109,aix4-r1,server servera,serverb,109,aix4-r1,server servera,serverb,109,aix4-r1,server servera,serverb,109,aix4-r1,server servera,serverb,109,aix4-r1,server servera,serverb,109,hpux10,server servera,serverb,109,solaris2,server servera,serverb,109,solaris2,server servera,serverb,109,solaris2,server servera,serverb,109,solaris2,server servera,serverb,109,solaris2,server servera,serverb,109,solaris2,server servera,serverb,109,solaris2,server servera,serverb,109,solaris2,server servera,serverb,109,solaris2,server servera,serverb,109,solaris2,server I am trying to set up a counter that would actually output the data to be: servera,serverb,109,aix4-r1,server,5 servera,serverb,109,hpux10,server,1 servera,serverb,109,solaris2,server,10 Does anyone any suggestion on how to set up a counter to count the lines until a different line shows up. I already have the list sorted, so I just need to compare the new string to old string and if they are the same increase the counter, and if they are different start a new counter.
