After a couple of posts about my post, I will go back to my point. You can only binary search a fixed length table.
Nonsense. The table for the code that I posted previouisly consisted of varying-length strings.
If you create an index table, the index table is the actual table being searched, not the original table. Now, Robert does have mention a neet trick where the fixed table contains a refference pointer to the actual data to be compared. But, the pointer table is still a fixed length table. :-) You just can't binary search a variable length table.
Rubbish. And the code to do it was written and published pre-1970.
