For your character vector example, this will get you the counts.
table(charvec)[charvec]
Hope this is helpful,
It does help, Dan! I came up with the same idea and expanded on it a bit
to work properly with other kinds of vectors:
as.vector(table( as.character(vec) )[as.character(vec)])
If there are, say, 10,000 different elements in vec, each repeated an
average of 5-10 times, will this still work correctly? In other words,
the length of the table output array is unlimited, right?
