Counting characters in a sentence

[acesouthall]

I need some guidance. I want to create a program which will count characters in words within a sentence.

I want it to output like this:


"
Please type a sentence,

"This is a sentence, okay."

The number of occurances of each word length is shown below:

1 letter(s) 1 occurance
2 letter(s) 1 occurance
3 letter(s) 0 occurances
4 letter(s) 2 occurances
etc...

Is there a special array and for loop combination to use?
