I’m trying to read this file, and find how many time the following words appear:
file:
```nohighlight
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet! rose :)
```
Words to be found: `rose' and `sweet` so I wrote the below code:
```julia
fname = "simplefile.txt"
s = read(fname, String)
rx = r"(rose|sweet)s?"
collect(eachmatch(rx, s, overlap = true))
```
And got the output as:
```julia
3-element Array{RegexMatch,1}:
RegexMatch("rose", 1="rose")
RegexMatch("sweet", 1="sweet")
RegexMatch("rose", 1="rose")
```
As noticed the word “rose” appeared twice, and in the `collect` appeared in 2 different lines, how can I write a code to made the results be something like:
```bash
rose => 2 times,
sweet => 1 time
```
And what if I need to remove the duplication or multiple appearance, so that the result be something like:
```bash
found words: rose, sweet
```

Check out [countmap](http://juliastats.github.io/StatsBase.jl/stable/counts/#StatsBase.countmap) from StatsBase

`unique()`?

Thanks,
I sorted the results obtained by `unique()` as `sort!(unique!(my_array))`
How can I sort the array obtained by `countmap(my_array)`, I tried `sort(countmap(my_array))` but got it sorted by `key` while I want it to be sorted by `value`
One more point, I noticed for the `unique()` lower case is considered different than upper case, I tried using [titlecase](https://pkg.julialang.org/docs/julia/THl1k/1.1.1/base/strings.html#Base.Unicode.titlecase) as `unique(titlecase(my_array))` but it failed!

You can sort the result of countmap by value using
> `sort(collect(my_array),by=last)`
For titlecase try
> `unique(titlecase.(my_array))`
