Using MX is there a relatively simple way to do a fast compare of two large string arrays? I need to know if an element in an array is contained in the another. Currently I'd use something like this for(o = 1, o LT arrayLen(ary1), o = o + 1) { for(i = 1, LT arrayLen(ary2), i = i + 1) { if(ary1[o] EQ ary2[i]) { //match... } } } This obviously does not scale well. Given the fact that I am not a CS grad (no quicksort, not ready for that :)), does Java have a good way to do this kind of compare, that I could use in MX, or is there another way? -- jon mailto:jonhall@;ozline.net ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm
