"Alphabet Calculator"

I need this Counter which would like search through a bunch of text and tally up all the times for example "A" has appeared as well as for the rest of the alphatbet. WOuld anyone know of this type of thing?

its ok you are very kind to help me out in the first place many thx.

Aliboy here.
I will not be able to get it to run on its own. Too busy to even consider trying to work out how and edit some of the code I have to get it too run.

Sorry.

Hope someone else out there knows of a better solution and might be able to get it to work.

Smashed/Fabio/Ftozzi: you are single-handedly responsible for the decline of this forum, and the world in general. How your latest pseudonymn has escaped the attention of Mr Ban Hands, I will never know.

Hmm! reminds me of maths!

Right, I don't know if I could make one that would work unless you had the JAVA VM on the computer you are running it on.
I had a quick mess around with some code that reads in a file and so far seems to take each letter and total them up.

I'll have another mess around when I have some free time.
See if I can get something sorted.

*bump*

========================

um.. input like from a file. pasting would be even better where you can paste the text in.

The output maybe like:

A=2
B=5
C=9
D=4
E=7
F=2

etc

==================
something tht would run on its own. Again thx for all of this! :D

What do you want the input to be??
You want it to read the text in from a file or read it in from what someone types into a textbox?

Also what is the output to be?

From your last message I wasn't sure what you meant about the code. Do you need something that will run on its own or would you be able to run a java class file on the computer.

it will need to be an acutal program caus i actually need it. it for me maths and i need it to count all the letters in the alphabet and how many time they occur because i need it to check the validity of the scrabble game score system using spearmans rank and Standard deviation. (i have no preferance what language it is in but i would know how to run it it it is just like code)

Depends what programming language you want to do it in.

All you have to is put the text in an array and then use two for loops to search through the text and store the results in a new array.
