Hi All, Maybe this is OT , I am sorry for that. I have a specific email application , where I want to check if a particular id exists or not in a file. Since this happens at real time I want the application to be as fast as possible. I am currently using DB_File hash, but that seems to be unnecessary because DB_File hashes are for checking key value pairs, but my requirement is just to find if a key exists.
Also note that my Hash list will be a really long list,but relatively static ( No frequent additions/deletions expected ) Thanks Ram ---------------------------------------------------------- Netcore Solutions Pvt.
