Strings array question

[Ghirai]

Hey, i'd like some opinions/suggestions.

I have an array of say 3 strings, and another array with 3 dwords.
The strings in the array have different lenghts.

What would be the best way to extract pairs (2nd string and 2nd dword)?

I was thinking of declaring the string array something like aaa db 4,"Blah",9,"Something",5,Hello" (each string len is known at compile time).

What do you think? How do you suggest i do this?

Thanks.

Hi, I like your idea, so I've coded it. Don't know is it fast or not, have a look at attachment... BTW there is a limitation string can't exceed 0ffh characters, but of course it's piece of cake to set the limit to 0ffffh characters...
