You can use the 'String.GetHashCode' function to get a hash for a
string's. Maybe you should provide more information on what you want to
do with the hash...

Thank you for your post.

I have a list of string pairs. I use the first string
(in the pair) to find the second string. The second
string is in fact the value of the first string. If I use
an array, it will be very slow to find the value of a
given string. So, I am trying to use hash function to find
the value of a given string variable.

You can use the 'String.GetHashCode' function to get a

hash for astring's. Maybe you should provide more information on what you want todo with the hash...

Have a look at the 'Hashtable' class.

Thank you for the message. I realized that I forgot
to say that I am using VB 6.0. Especially I am using
VBA. Do you have an idea what I should use?

This is a VB.NET language group. You will more likely get an answer to your
question if you post it to one of the VB Classic groups
(microsoft.public.vb.*)
