[RESOLVED] Need advice - what to use CStringArray or CStringList

[Paul McKenzie]

3. Then when I need to find if a certain file is in the array during the second pass I do the following:

	for(int i = 0; i < pArrConvFiles->GetCount(); i++)
	{
		if(strFile.CompareNoCase(pArrConvFiles->GetAt(i)) == 0)
		{
			//Found it
			return TRUE;
		}
	}

	return FALSE;

If you sorted the array of names first, then you could use a binary search instead of looping through each element. Or maybe you should use a different container, one that has fast lookups (map, for example).
