Statement: strLetterCounter('string')
....where, 'string' is an input string containing alphabet or numbers.

Ex: string='aaaaaaaabbbbbbccd'
Statement: strLetterCounter(string)
Output: '8a,6b,2c,1d'

Note: This function is different from the Matlab function called 'unique' because it keeps the order in which letters occur in the string.
