I am new to bash programming and I am struggling with arrays and how to operate with them.
SCENARIO:

I have a variable called x which is composed of a group of IP's.
This is the output when I **echo $x** from my script

```
182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 201.21.24.22 201.21.24.22 201.21.24.22
44.21.25.31 44.21.25.31 44.21.25.31 44.21.25.31

```

Then, I would like to know how many times each IP is repeated.
The desired output would be:

```
15 182.100.67.59
4 44.21.25.31
3 201.21.24.22

```

I have tried the following

```
(IFS=" "; sort <<< "$x" ) | uniq -c

```

Output Note the first 1 on the output.

```
**1** 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 182.100.67.59 201.21.24.22 201.21.24.22 201.21.24.22 44.21.25.31 44.21.25.31 44.21.25.31 44.21.25.31 

```

I am not seeing this, It should be pretty simple but I can't find the solution :(
Thanks! And very great community!
