Suppose this :

Sub Test()
Dim str1 As String
Dim str2 As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim arrTokens() As String

str1 = "tftftffftftftftftftf"
str2 = Left(str1, 1)

For i = 2 To Len(str1)
If Mid(str1, i, 1) = Mid(str1, i - 1, 1) Then
str2 = str2 & Mid(str1, i, 1)
Else
str2 = str2 & "," & Mid(str1, i, 1)
End If
Next i

ReDim arrTokens(dhCountTokens(str2, ",") - 1)

arrTokens = Split(str2, ",")

End Sub

I need to know the frequncy of each unique value of arrTokens array. In this
case:

T = 9
F = 8
FFF = 1

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Fábio

Here's one way:

A collection cannot have duplicate keys, so
On Error Resume Next sees to, that the routine
continues, each time this situation occurs.
After the loop CheckColl contains one instance
of each element in str2.

Sub Test()
Dim Counter As Long
Dim str1 As String
Dim str2 As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim arrTokens() As String
Dim CheckColl As New Collection
Dim Element As Variant

str1 = "tftftffftftftftftftf"
str2 = Left(str1, 1)

For i = 2 To Len(str1)
If Mid(str1, i, 1) = Mid(str1, i - 1, 1) Then
str2 = str2 & Mid(str1, i, 1)
Else
str2 = str2 & "," & Mid(str1, i, 1)
End If
Next i

ReDim arrTokens(dhcounttokens(str2, ",") - 1)

arrTokens = Split(str2, ",")

On Error Resume Next

For Counter = LBound(arrTokens) To UBound(arrTokens) - 1
CheckColl.Add Item:=arrTokens(Counter), key:=arrTokens(Counter)
Next Counter

str2 = "," & str2 & ","

For Each Element In CheckColl
MsgBox "Frequency of " & Element & "= " & _
dhcounttokens(str2, "," & Element & ",") / (Len(Element) + 2)
Next Element

End Sub
