Hi all, I have a script which takes a string of alphabetic characters as an argument, generates all combinations of the characters and all permutations of the combinations, then looks up each result in a list of valid words, if the result is a valid word it gets stored in an array. I would like to be able to specify "any alphabetic character" from the command line. Is there a clean way of doing this? I thought that I could search the string for such characters and cycle through all legal combinations, but this does seem particularly clean...
I've had a look about and found lots of things about using wildcards from the command line that the shell deals with, but nothing about using a wildcard or otherwise inside a script which was declared on the command line...
