You use a hash for holding your elements to check against and use the values
within the array as a key to know whether it is a hit or not. If unsure on
how data coming in, then make sure you use a lc or uc against your data and
the data coming in, unless CAP is different from cap.
Wags ;) ps fol
P.S. Using hashes will eliminate duplicate entries from both lists. My
assumption in suggesting this was that that wasn't a problem, but it is
something that should be made explicit.
Cheers,
Jeff
