( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Here is some code that works very well for me.

#! /usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my @array = @ARGV ? @ARGV : qw/mix up these words in new ways/; sub fac { my $nr = shift; return 1 if $nr < 2; return $nr*fac($nr-1); } my %seen; my $max = fac(scalar @array); my $nr = 0; while( $nr < $max ) { my $need_combo = 1; my @combo; while( $need_combo ) { for( my $i = 0; $i < scalar @array; ++$i ) { $combo[$i] = $array[ rand scalar @array ]; } my %unique; my $unique = 1; for my $c ( @combo ) { if( ++$unique{$c} > 1 ) { $unique = 0; } } if( $unique == 1 ) { $need_combo = 0; } } if( exists $seen{ "@combo" } ) { next; } else { local $" = "\t"; print "@combo\n"; } ++$seen{"@combo"}; ++$nr; }

There are possibly some minor performance tweaks that could be added, but I have chosen clarity over performance. Hope this helps.

Oops, I just re-read your question. You said you wanted combinations of this array, but apparently you also want selections. Oh well, I'm sure you can figure out easily enough how to extend this program to get it to do that too.


print@_{sort keys %_},$/if%_=split//,'= & *a?b:e\f/h^h!j+n,o@o;r$s-t%t#u'

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
