Subject: [S] simple function

I have a vector that

Has names

 

So it might be

 

AAA   BBB     AAA  CCC        BBB

 3         4          3        2            4

 

so I want a function that  returns as

below ( just the unique names ).

 

AAA      BBB     CCCC

 

 3            4            2

 

also, if it has the same name it will

always have the same #  so

the case of same name with different

number doesn’t have to be dealt with.

 

 

                                    thanks
