ksh Remove and replace repeated in file

Hi, i need to read a line from a file and count the number of times it appear in, then continuous to the second line with the same. So when i count a line i have to remove all duplicates in the file to not count it another time.

Code:
while read line
do
    n=$(grep -c $line File)
    print "$line : $n"
    sed "/$line/d" > Aux
    mv Aux File
done < File

I try with a file like this:

Code:
Antonio
Carlos
Roberto
Antonio
Roberto

And return:

Code:
Antonio : 2
Carlos : 1
Roberto : 2
Antonio : 0
Roberto : 0

The problem i think is that i cant replace a file with mv wich is opened, but i dont know. if you have a better way to solve the problem iŽll be gratefull.

Srry for my bad English Smilie
Thanks in advance.

NAME
times - shell built-in function to report time usages of the current shell SYNOPSIS
sh times ksh times DESCRIPTION
sh Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell. ksh Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from the shell. On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways: 1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes. 2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments. 3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort. 4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari- able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not performed. ATTRIBUTES
