Hi Is there an elegant way to determine which string is mostly represented in a TStringList? For instance if I've got the following the function should return 'Delphi': StringList[0] := 'Pascal'; StringList[1] := 'Pascal'; StringList[2] := 'Delphi'; StringList[3] := 'Delphi'; StringList[4] := 'Delphi'; - Wed, Nov 21 2007 1:04 pm 1 message, 1 author Probably the fastest way to do this is to hash each item to an integer and then count the occurrences of each hash value.
