This creates a has of a string in javascript. This was used to compare two lines of data in a better way.
function getHash(str)
{
var hash = 0;
if (str.length == 0) return hash;
for (i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
char = str.charCodeAt(i);
hash = ((hash<<5)-hash)+char;
hash = hash & hash; // Convert to 32bit integer
}
return hash;
}
