Searching for a string in any order?

[nullschritt]

I was wondering if it is possible (preferably with regex) to search for a string in any order.

So for example the string 101 would search for 011, 110, 101.

Yes, well kind of. Using regexp with "[abc]+" will match b ab bac bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb accc. An exact match with the same number of characters is going to involve some additional steps. Interesting to think about. Regexp might not be the best way to approach this. If you search for anagram you might find some scripts which will help you.

BTW this is the wrong forum. Ask to have this topic moved to Help and Support.

An example.

#include <Array.au3>

Local $sTestString = "1001001101010101011010100"
Local $sString = "101"

;------------ Create Reg Exp Pattern ----------------
Local $aArray = StringSplit($sString, "", 2)
Local $aNewArray = _ArrayPermute($aArray, "")
$aNewArray = _ArrayUnique($aNewArray, 1, 1, 0, 0)
;_ArrayDisplay($aNewArray, "Array Permuted")
Local $sRegExpPattern = "(" & _ArrayToString($aNewArray, "|") & ")"
ConsoleWrite($sRegExpPattern & @LF)
;---------> End of Create Reg Exp Pattern ------------

Local $aResults = StringRegExp($sTestString, $sRegExpPattern, 3)
_ArrayDisplay($aResults)
