Hi all,

I have a vector of strings and need to count the number of times a string
appears in the vector.

eg:

  [1] spp6  spp10 spp6  spp6  spp4  spp2  spp9  spp10 spp5  spp2  spp2  spp3
  [13] spp4  spp3  spp6  spp10 spp6  spp4  spp9  spp3  spp6  spp1  spp10 spp8

  [25] spp2  spp10 spp9  spp7  spp1  spp3  spp8  spp6  spp3  spp8  spp6  spp5

  [37] spp5  spp9  spp3  spp1  spp4  spp5  spp9  spp3  spp3  spp5  spp4  spp9

  [49] spp3  spp7  spp7  spp2  spp6  spp5  spp7  spp4  spp8  spp9  spp2  spp6

  [61] spp3  spp3  spp2  spp6  spp3  spp5  spp6  spp6  spp4  spp1  spp1  spp1

  [73] spp10 spp8  spp1  spp6  spp1  spp5  spp8  spp9  spp5  spp6  spp9
spp10
  [85] spp2  spp6  spp10 spp1  spp2  spp3  spp5  spp8  spp2  spp7  spp4  spp7

  [97] spp2  spp6  spp2  spp6

Is it possible to create a vector of counts for each spp1-spp10?

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Jesse
