Hi Robert,

Your example works perfectly, thank you!

To incorporate the occurence count for each keyword do we need to put it 
into a hash similar to the first example I gave or is it possible to 
directly link that up with the output?

The previous example I had was:

  words.each { |w|
    w.lstrip
    if h.has_key?(w)
      h[w] = h[w] + 1
    else
      h[w] = 1
    end
  }
}

# sort the hash by value, and then print it in this sorted order
h.sort{|a,b| a[1]<=>b[1]}.each { |elem|
  puts "\"#{elem[0]}\" has #{elem[1]} occurrences"
}

Many thanks again for your help.

Regards,

Ryan
