in reply to Kiddie Codes

Just for fun, I wrote this script to parse /usr/dict/words looking for long words without repeating letters. Here's the code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my @words = (); my $max_len = 0; my $delta = 2; # Number of letters less than maximum which is acceptab +le while (<>) { # Check for words which are too short my $cur_len = length; next if $cur_len + $delta < $max_len; # Check for words with repeating letters next if /(.).*\1/; # Store value in list, possibly destroying old values if ($cur_len > $max_len) { $max_len = $cur_len; @words = ($_); } else { push @words, $_; } } print @words;
And if you're curious, here's the output:
ambidextrously bankruptcies bluestocking configurable considerably consumptively copyrightable customizable exclusionary flowcharting incomputable productively questionably recognizably unpredictably unprofitable upholstering
A thirteen letter word might work better because you wouldn't have to pad the cypher.
