What is the best way to filter out duplicate NSStrings from an
NSMutableArray?
Traditional Perl wisdom is that, whenever you find yourself using
the words "unique" or "duplicate," you should be thinking about a
hash instead of an array. In Objective-C terms, that would be an
NSDictionary instead of an NSArray. That is, when you're building
the list, instead of doing this:
Except that I need it to be sorted. I suppose I could add everything
to the dictionary, then get an array from that, then sort it.
You might also want to look into using a CFTree, then.
