I've kind of lost track of exactly what you need to do, but this may work and is shorter:
This doesn't do a count of each bin, but if you need that for some reason then this gets the number in each bin, after you've built the initial array:
I may have misunderstood the end goal though, so this may not be exactly what you're after.

Your code looks very promising, Jacques. Especially that export code at the end! I will definitely try it out later! It seems like it will fit my purpose!

Code: Select all

on combineAndExport
  get fld 1 -- or wherever your data is
  repeat for each line l in it
    put item 2 of l & cr after kArray[item 1 of l]
  end repeat
  -- export to files:
  set the defaultfolder to specialFolderPath("Desktop") -- or wherever
  repeat for each key k in kArray
    put kArray[k] into url ("file:" & k & ".txt")
  end repeat
end combineAndExport

Code: Select all

 put the number of lines in kArray[k] into tCount
