This is my first ever post... please help! Smilie

I have two columns....here is part of the file...
Code:
12,                                             46798                                   
6692,                                          46799                                   
5710,                                          46799                                   
12,                                             46799                                   
6692,                                          46800                                   
5710,                                          46800                                   
12,                                             46800                                   
12,                                             46805

I want to know the number of times that the value in column 2 appears as well as the corresponding values in column 1

So I'm trying to get this....
Code:
Col2,          No of times it Occurs,      Col1 values for col2
46798,        1,                    12
46799,        3,                    6692, 5710, 12                
46800,        3,                    6692, 5710, 12   
46805,        1,                    12

Many many thanks for any help...

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1). AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like @include getopt.awk in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path. OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
