Subject: Counting Occurrences of a String in an Array

Hi,

I'm pretty new to Ruby, and I've been trying to figure out the best
way to do this with little luck.

I have an array that is all strings, and I need to count, for each
string in the array, how many times some substring appears in it.

So, for example, my array is ["aaa", "aab", "abb", "bbb"] and I want
to return a new array that tells me how many times "a" appears: [3, 2,
1, 0]

Can anyone point me in the right direction with this?

Thanks!
