[Wiener, Matthew]

The function "rle" will give you what you are looking for.

Hope this helps,

Maybe not the most efficient way, but

 >  count <- function (x) diff(c(0,which(diff(x)!=0),length(x)))

should work (for integer sequences!):

 >  x<-c(1,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3,1,1,1,1,3,3)
 >  count(x)
[1] 3 4 6 4 2
