in thread Most elegant way to dispose of duplicates using map

Agreed. I chose a colon in this example as there were none in any of the strings that were going to form the keys. Similarly, a simple concatenation is also potentially dangerous, e.g. "frederick" and "son" vs. "fred" and "erickson". However, I should have stressed the point so thank you for doing it for me.

Cheers,
