Removing duplicates from an array

[Maven]

Ah I take it you're comparing my code to your ASM code?

Na, he was comparing my asm code, you're code, with his code.

How about this compared to your methods? How are you comparing the speeds?

Function removeDuplicates(ByVal initialArray As String()) As String()
Dim i As Integer = 0
Dim j As Integer = 0
Dim newArray(0) As String

For i = 0 To UBound(initialArray)
For j = 0 To UBound(initialArray)
If Not initialArray(i) = "" Then
If Not j = i Then
If initialArray(i) = initialArray(j) Then
initialArray(j) = ""
End If
End If
End If
Next
Next

j = 0
For i = 0 To UBound(initialArray)
If Not initialArray(i) = "" Then
ReDim Preserve newArray(j)
newArray(j) = initialArray(i)
j = j + 1
End If
Next

Return newArray

End Function
