800371Jan 28 2009 — edited Jan 28 2009

Greetings all,

I have a long unique string (protien sequence) like

vmtqtplslpvnigdqasisckstksllnsdgftyldwylqkpgqspqlliylvsnrfsgvperlsgsgsgtdftlkisrveaedlgvyycfqsnylpytfgggtkleikradaapt

And I want to generated a short unique ID using this string.(like the session ids).I want this because, I want to use the new ID as a file name and using the long sequence is not appropriate.

What can I use for this MD5/hasing??
