I was working on the same line, but from the other end. I start with the characters that are not duplicate and use your very fast code to get all the permutations. The I slot in, one for one, all the duplicate elements on all possible positions. After slotting in each duplicate element, I delete duplicate lines, so in the next run of inserting the next duplicate element, I will have to do less, as the duplicate lines have been deleted. I am not completely finished with the script & testing. I will post it as soon as possible. I also tried to serialise Geoff's script and looked if I could get rid of duplicates inside of the script. I did not manage as yet. But the serialised script is a bit easier for me to play around with, as I can better watch the different variables. This is my serialised version of Geoff's original script : function BC4_PermMech_Geoff_Serial_Chars N put "01" & cr & "10"& cr into T repeat with x = 2 to N repeat with i = 0 to x put T into T2 replace i with x in T2 replace cr with i & cr in T2 put T2 after R end repeat put R into T put empty into R end repeat delete char -1 of T return T end BC4_PermMech_Geoff_Serial_Chars All the best, Beat _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
