ABSTRACT:
A file storage and retrieval method or technique for processing alphanumeric information that has particular advantages when accessing data in a database on a computer. The retrieval technique uses the ASCII values of characters in a search string concatenated together to form a numeric value which serves as the index to the data itself or to the index which holds the computer address of the location of the data. This technique allows data to be accessed with only one access when searching for a word or phrase within a database and lends itself for use on static storage systems of the future as well as on current disk based systems.
