Letter list generator...

[rabbitkillrun]

Ok, so for about an hour now i've been trying to figure out how to make a list of letters like this:

a

b

c

d

...

zzzzy

zzzzz

problem is, because the ascii codes of upper and lower case letters, and numbers are seperated, the code i've got won't work to create a list with all these...

can anyone find a solution to this...?

here's what i've got so far... (couldn't get lots of nested loops to work...):

expandcollapse popup

for $l1 = 97 to 122
    $word = chr($l1)
    ConsoleWrite($word&@CRLF)
next

for $l2 = 97 to 122
    for $l1 = 97 to 122
    $word = chr($l2) & chr($l1)
    ConsoleWrite($word&@CRLF)
    next
next
            
for $l3 = 97 to 122
    for $l2 = 97 to 122
        for $l1 = 97 to 122
        $word = chr($l3) & chr($l2) & chr($l1)
        ConsoleWrite($word&@CRLF)
        next
    next
next

for $l4 = 97 to 122
    for $l3 = 97 to 122
        for $l2 = 97 to 122
            for $l1 = 97 to 122
            $word = chr($l4) & chr($l3) & chr($l2) & chr($l1)
            ConsoleWrite($word&@CRLF)
            next
        next
    next
next

for $l5 = 97 to 122
    for $l4 = 97 to 122
        for $l3 = 97 to 122
            for $l2 = 97 to 122
                for $l1 = 97 to 122
                $word = chr($l5) & chr($l4) & chr($l3) & chr($l2) & chr($l1)
                ConsoleWrite($word&@CRLF)
                next
            next
        next
    next
next

This has been asked a few times before:

thanks... i tried searching, but i couldn't think of the right search term...

although it still doesn't really help much with my problem with the gaps between the ascii characters...

sorry for digging up this old topic to answer my own question, but thought it could be useful to another autoit newb in the future...

i just created an array containing all the characters i wanted and went through charList[$i] rather than using char($i)...

i can't see how i managed to miss that before... i guess that's what late night programming does to you...
