How can I get the count of how many times a string appears in my list?

$begingroup$


I have a list of strings, like so:



{"aa bb", "cc dd", "aa bb", "aa bb", "cc dd", "ww ss", "ss ss", "kk mm"}


I know WordCounts will return the numbers of every single word, but I want to the word group numbers, i.e., "aa bb" 3 times, and "cc dd" 2 times. How can I do this?

          You can try Tally



          lst = {"aa bb", "cc dd", "aa bb", "aa bb", "cc dd", "ww ss", "ss ss",   "kk mm"};
          
Tally[lst]

          As J.M. says in his comment below, Counts will give the same information as an association.



          Counts[data]



          <|"aa bb" -> 3, "cc dd" -> 2, "ww ss" -> 1, "ss ss" -> 1, "kk mm" -> 1|>




          This is equivalent to 



          Rule @@@ Tally[data] // Association

          Image
          Knooppunt Holsloot Kenmerken Wegen A37 × N34 Type knooppunt klaverblad Portaal     Verkeer & Vervoer Knooppunt Holsloot is een verkeersknooppunt op de kruising van de autosnelweg A37 en de N34 in Drenthe, tussen Emmen en Coevorden. Oorspronkelijk was deze aansluiting een afritconstructie van het type Haarlemmermeeraansluiting, zoals bij Knooppunt Hooipolder. Sinds 2002 is het knooppunt omgebouwd tot een volledig klaverblad. Als noviteit werd hier voor het eerst gebruikgemaakt van dimbare verlichting in plaats van de normale vaste tijden waarop de verlichting aan en uit gaat, wat een grote kostenbesparing opleverde. [1] Dat Holsloot als volwaardig knooppunt is uitgevoerd, waarbij alle verkeersstromen en afbuigingen ononderbroken kunnen doorgaan, is uitzonderlijk. Het betreft hier namelijk een aansluiting tussen een autosnelweg en niet-snelweg. Een vergelijkbare situatie treft men nabij Hoensbroek bij het knooppunt Ten Esschen.     Aa

Collectie Museum Catharijneconvent De Gregoriusmis of de Mis van Sint Gregorius is een motief in katholieke kunst, dat het eerst verscheen in de late Middeleeuwen en dat nog steeds werd gebruikt tijdens de contrareformatie. Paus Gregorius I (ca. 540-604) is afgebeeld, de H. Mis opdragend, terwijl Christus als de Man van Smarten verschijnt op het altaar dat voor Sint Gregorius staat. Volgens de legende had St. Gregorius gebeden om een teken voor een betwijfelaar van de transsubstantiatieleer, waarop de lijdende Christus tijdens het opdragen van de Mis verscheen om hem te overtuigen en waarbij zijn bloed in de altaarkelk liep. Vaak zijn ook de passiewerktuigen afgebeeld. Zie de categorie Mass of Saint Gregory van Wikimedia Commons voor mediabestanden over dit onderwerp. This page is onl
