Is there a library function to take a list of Strings and return a list of ints showing how many times each String occurs in the list.

So for example:

["egg", "egg", "cheese"] would return [2,1]

I couldn't find anything on a search, or anything in the librarys.

Thanks BH.

No, but it is also trivial to create, with the 'group' function in Data.List. I'll stop there though, cos this could be a homework question. Cheers, D.
