E1M1 4 Posted May 5, 2012 (edited) I am trying to generate all possible cases of given string. Code works but it takes 8.6 sec to generate 4096 lines of text. PHP generated that in 1.7 sec. Is there way to optimize that algorithm or is there any better algorithm? If it takes that long it makes me think it does a lot overhead work. But I can't come up with better algorithm. <snip> Edited May 5, 2012 by Melba23 Code removed edited Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clicked 3 Posted May 5, 2012 Look for the version of FileWrite that uses a handle. You get the handle from FileOpen. The help file says this runs very much faster than the FileWrite you are using, which opens and closes the file after each write. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
water 2,367 Posted May 5, 2012 Replace if is_upper($str)withif StringUpper($str) == $strso you'll save a lot of function calls.

Melba23 3,412 Posted May 5, 2012 E1M1, I am sure you are not intending to do such a thing, but what you have there is the bare bones of a brute force password cracker.
