Subject: Re: Hash counting

Thanks Robert.

This is more to what I need. However I am still getting no result, 
everything works until we get to this section:

> counts = Hash.new(0)
> eventdateID.each {|d| counts[d] +=1}
> counts.each do |d,cnt|
>    @alerts.push("#{event.event_id} #{@tab} #{event.time_written}
> #{@tab}#{event.event_type} #{@tab} #{type}") if cnt >= 5
> end

Does it make any difference that the data being read into the 
eventdateID is alphanumeric eg:

MonFeb022009
MonFeb022009
MonFeb022009

Many thanks.
