Hi I have a lot of data that is in a TEXT file which are numbers does anyone have a good suggestion for indexing TEXT numbers (zip codes, other codes, dollar amounts, quantities, etc). since Lucene and other indexers are really optimized for Alpha character indexing. What approaches are typically taken in computer science for example to index text numbers..hash maps or something else ??
