Of course, if you already have your storedfiles array set up like
that, susbtitute that for the [[[a]],[[b]],[[c]]] mess. :-)=

I should also point out that, unlike Wayne's code, this one doesn't
attribute equal values to each case where they occur - just to the
first one. So you can construct pathological inputs where it gives the
wrong answer - though if you never or rarely expect to encounter the
same value then you'll never run into it.
