I have a plan, but I suspect that it not a great approach:
I have an alpha sorted xml file containing hundreds of titles. I'd like to
create an
array of items whose beginning contains my search string.
So if the search string is "Ba" and this is my list, I'd want the 3rd and 4th
items
only:
10 Things I Hate About You
Agent Cody Banks
Baby Story, A
Back to the Future
Yoga for Back Care
Zona de Batalla
My plan is: Do a binary search on the keyCode of the first letter, get all of
the items
that start with "B". Then, use substring to see which of these items start with
"Ba"
and add these to my array. What do you think? Is there a better way to approach
this?
Thanks for your time
