[fpc-pascal] any free pascal standard function to compare a, string against an array of string?

[Ingemar Ragnemalm]

You mean something faster than a for-loop? Like a hash table?

I don't know of any hash table in the standard library but there are 
some in the class library:

I have not used these myself but they may suit your problem.

Or you can just write your own hash table function. It is not that hard.
