Thank you so much for your replies.
Patrick: I have filtered those triplets you mentioned where the third
element may be equal with any of the others.
Andy: my arrays probably will be large (thousands of elements), so I will
consider your concern on speed.
Jf: Thank you. I will try to compare Timing on the methods.
Thank you all again!
