Question

I have a list and I am getting each item in the list in a foreach loop.

    private void saveButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
            if (saveFile1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(saveFile1.FileName);
                int i = 1;

                Dictionary<string, int> dictionary = new Dictionary<string, int>();

                foreach (var line in theFinalList)
                {
                    //compareList.Add(line.PartNumber[]);
                    if (!line.Name.Contains("FID") || !line.PartNumber.Contains("FIDUCIAL") ||
                        !line.PartNumber.Contains("EXCLUDES") || !line.PartNumber.Contains("excludes"))
                    {
                        //This doesn't work obviously.. :/
                        sw.WriteLine("( {0} 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 \"{1}\" \"{2}\" \"\" {3} 0 0 0 0 0 )",
                            i, line.PartDescription, line.PartNumber, partNumberOccurrences);
                    }

                    i++;
                }
            }

And I am having trouble using a dictionary to store each part of the line in a dictionary and to increment the the itemCounter whenever it is found as duplicate. I am trying to do something like this, but I cannot figure out the logic for it.

And I would like to only output the partNumber 1 time and also the amount of times it occurred as well as a corresponding value on the same line as the partNumber.

The output would look like this:

( 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 "2125R_1.0" "136380" "" 18 0 0 0 0 0 )
( 2 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 "2125R_1.0" "128587" "" 41 0 0 0 0 0 )
( 3 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 "2125R_1.0" "138409" "" 11 0 0 0 0 0 )
( 4 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 "2125R_1.0" "110984" "" 8 0 0 0 0 0 )
( 5 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 "3216R_1.3" "114441" "" 6 0 0 0 0 0 )
( 6 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 "3216C_1.3" "2006722" "" 16 0 0 0 0 0 )
( 7 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 "3216C_1.3" "135732" "" 6 0 0 0 0 0 )

Can anyone help me with creating a dictionary to do this?

foreach (string word in lineList)
{
    if (dictionary.ContainsKey(word)
        dictionary[word]++;
    else
        dictionary[word] = 1;
}
