Alberto,

Maybe you can find inspiration here:

http://www.neverslow.com/fom/swiftforth/fom-serve/cache/38.html

The idea is to convert the string to a number (using hash code)

Put this hnumber in a list or in a sorted table. (do you need very fast access?)

Manage (or reject) hash code collisions (when 2 strings have the same hcode representation).
