R help - Feb 2010 - strings plots

Hi all !

I'm new in this list and newbie about R
I'm trying to use R scripts (as in the attached file) for creating some
distributions plots of data retrieved by a workflow(with Rserve, to be precise).

I was able to do it (even if not in a beatiful way, I have to improve it
especially about labels and coordinates) with number inputs like :
110,248,245,151,175,165,163,52,213,315,164,276,273,273,175,220,284,216,213,278,245,157,278,248

My problem appear when I want to create such plots with inputs composed by
strings like:
CORPUS,CORPUS,CORPUS,CORPUS,CORPUS,CORPUS,CORPUS,CORPUS,OVARY,OVARY,OVARY,OVARY,PERITONEUM,PERITONEUM,PERITONEUM,PERITONEUM,PERITONEUM,PERITONEUM,PERITONEUM,PERITONEUM,PERITONEUM,UTERUS,UTERUS,UTERUS
for creating plots of the distributions of the different 'words'.
(e.g. bar named corpus that tell me how many time it is repeated, and so on).

I hope to be clear enough!

thank you
cheers

Hi A Z,
Try this:

input_strings<-sample(c("CORPUS","OVARY","PERITONEUM"),100,TRUE)
input_table<-table(input_strings)
barplot(input_table,names.arg=names(input_table))
