[Gambas-user] Checksum for array and collection

[Christof Thalhofer]

Hi everybody,

I'm in search for a function that returns a checksum for an array or a 
collection so that I have the possibility to check if the size or 
content has changed.

Any ideas?

To create a checksum for a string is easy, for that I use

'Digest["sha1"](sCheckstring)'

with 'Digest' from gb.openssl.

But how create 'sCheckstring' which represents the content of the array?

A simple approach would be to use JSON.Encode($TheArray), but I wonder 
if there are faster solutions?

Alles Gute

Christof Thalhofer
