Hello AS Gurus,

after years of silence I'm back to the list with a question: I run a web*
server and need to put up a html form that is prefilled with some data. I
need some kind of cgi that performs a lookup within a presorted text file
and retrieves the line matching the search string entered by the remote
user. The text file is sorted by that search string and may contain up to
500.000 lines and eventually more. Therefore the code needs to be efficient
to guarantee short response times.

Any ideas very welcome!!!!!

Greetings Franz
