I have file that has this data, but I do not know it in advance:

one
two
three
one
five
two
ten
one

I want to count the number of times each of those strings appears in the file. I have a script with a nested loop that reads each line of the file in the outer loop, then the inner loop checks line by line in the same file for a match and prints it out. As you can see from the file, it will check for string "one" three times and (correctly) find it is matched three times. But I do not need to have count again when it encounters the same string it counted before. Hopefully, that explanation makes sense.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use IO::File;

open (FILE, 'numbers.txt');
my @fileone = <FILE>;
close (FILE);

open (FILE, 'numbers.txt');
my @filetwo = <FILE>;
close (FILE);

my $count1="0";
my $line;
my $pattern;

foreach $pattern (@fileone) {
chomp $pattern;

    foreach $line (@filetwo) {
    chomp $line;
        if ($line =~ /$pattern/) {
            $count1++;
            #my @elements = split ('~',$line);
            #my $cmts = $elements[1];
        }
    }
   print "$pattern appeared $count1\n";
   $count1="0"; 
}

$ ./test_v2.pl
one appeared 3
two appeared 2
three appeared 1
one appeared 3
five appeared 1
two appeared 2
ten appeared 1
one appeared 3
