[Gambas-user] Get distinct array from large array

[Safiur Rahman]

Hi

I want to get a string array of distinct items from another string array
which has large count (about a million). I hope Benoît will add a function
for this. Till then what can be the fastest way to get array of distinct
items?

I am using following code to achieve that. But it is slow

Dim yyy As String[]
  Dim xx As String

  yyy = New String[]
  For Each xx In xxx
    If yyy.Count = 0 Then
      yyy.Add(xx)
    Else If yyy.Count > 0 Then
      If yyy.Find(xx, gb.Binary) = -1 Then
        yyy.Add(xx)
      Endif
    Endif
  Next
