Is there a way to load data strings (with some duplicates) into a container
and then use some form of .Exists and .Remove (i.e. not an array) to redefine
the container? Note I need the duplicates for calclations purposes.

I have a list of strings. I load them into a container. There are
duplicate strings. I need the duplicates as I am calculating the frequency of
their occurences. I then check the entire list for a sub list of strings
and remove these strings. Becasue I am using duplicate strings I cannot use
a collection or a dictionary as they cannot take duplicate keys. Therefore I
am using an array.

However when it comes time to removing the stings (rows) I don't have the
luxury of using .Exist booleans as I can with a dictionary object. I have to
loop through the entire array to see if the sting exists AND THEN I have find
a way to get rid of all my empty rows in the array. Probably the best way to
do this is to transfer all nonempty data from first arraty into second array
and then back to first arrray. Bit of pain

Any ideas?

Thanks
