"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?

Don't know if this will work (well look ok because of spacing)
This is a Java program I wrote which counts the total of all the vowels in your name.


import javabook.*;

class CountVowels
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
MainWindow mainWindow;
MessageBox messageBox;
InputBox inputBox;

mainWindow = new MainWindow("Count Vowels in Your Name");
messageBox = new MessageBox( mainWindow );
inputBox = new InputBox( mainWindow );

mainWindow.setVisible( true );

String name;

int numberOfCharacters,
vowelCount = 0;

char letter;

name = inputBox.getString("Please enter your name?");
numberOfCharacters = name.length();

for (int i = 0; i < numberOfCharacters; i++) {

letter = name.charAt(i);

if ( letter == 'a' || letter == 'A' ||
letter == 'e' || letter == 'E' ||
letter == 'i' || letter == 'I' ||
letter == 'o' || letter == 'O' ||
letter == 'u' || letter == 'U' ) {

vowelCount++;
}
}

messageBox.show(name + ", your name has " +
vowelCount + " vowels");


}

}// end of class CountVowels

For what purpose do you need to count each letter?
Also what format do you have to do it in, ie if someone like me wrote a program would you be able to compile and run it to use or is it just the source you need to see to help and use for examples.

pseudocode any use or must it be full code etc.

please if you could. its just got to tally up like how many times each letter of the alphabet (how many times each letter appears) from a block of txt

I could do it in PHP for you.

What you got to do it in?
Could be done with most programming languages with a bit of thought.

naw naw its for my stats coursework. do you know of anything like this?

Doing some crypto are we?
