Call a custom function that does what you asking and that returns the appropriate index value.

I have a table with just 2 columns, 1 for a character array and one an integer index. I need to process a string such as to find out the index for it in the table if it is already there or insert it and then find out it's index which is auto generated otherwise. Is there a way to do this in a single step?
