Hi,
I'm trying to write a word list generator which can
generate all possible combinations of n characters, within n
set of characters.
So far, this is what I have come up. The only input is the
lenght of the password the user wants.
my @set = qw(a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w
x y z);
my $len = scalar @set;
my $char1;
my $char2;
my $char3;
my $char4;
my $char5;
my $char6;
my $char7;
my $char8;
if ($pwlen == 8){
for ($char1=0;$char1<$len;$char1++){
for ($char2=0;$char2<$len;$char2++){
for ($char3=0;$char3<$len;$char3++){
... upto
for ($char8=0;$char8<$len;$char8++){
print
"$set[$char1]$set[$char2]$set[$char3]$set[$char4]$set[$char5]$set[$char6]set[$char7]$set[$char8]\n";
}}}}}}}}
} elseif ( $pwlen == 7){
for ($char2=0;$char2<$len;$char1++){
for ($char3=0;$char3<$len;$char2++){
for ($char4=0;$char4<$len;$char3++){
... upto
for ($char8=0;$char8<$len;$char8++){
print
"$set[$char2]$set[$char3]$set[$char4]$set[$char5]$set[$char6]$set[$char7]set[$char8]\n";
}}}}}}}
}
The problem with the code above is that the length of words
is hard coded. Only 8 maximum. I'm looking for ways on how
to make my code flexible (length can be whatever the user
wants ).
My code is limited to 8 chars maximum length plus if I want
to increase it, I have to add another set of for loops plus
another variable to use, e.g., $char9, char10.. and so
on...
Any idea?
