Hey,
given A = [1 1 3 4 5 6 6 7 7 7]. How could I return the sequence B =[1 2 1 1 1 1 2 1 2 3] such that each duplicate is counted and B is the same size as A?
I appreciate your help!

ix = A(:) == unique(A);
B = nonzeros(cumsum(ix) .* ix)

I knew you would come up with that question. That’s why you should experiment with 'stable' option in unique function.
