combinations of substrings

Can anyone suggest an algorithm or function to generate combinations/
permutations of a group of substrings stored in a vector. The
substrings consists of 3 letters and the resulting string combinations
should be of a size that is a multiple of 3.

check next_permutatio n() in STL.

First, the problem is obfuscated (I suspect, it is homework): the groups of
3 letters just hide the abstract problem of generating permutations and
combinations. So, first take the input data apart and create a

std::vector< std::string >

that stores those groups of three letters.

Now, for permutations, life is easy because STL has next_permutatio n built
in.
For combinations, note that the problem of enumerating all combinations of
length n from a set of k items is equivalent to listing all n-digit
counting numbers in base k (because if you have such a number, each digits
represents one of k items and you have made exactly n such choices). Thus,
you could use a

std::vector< unsigned int >

and implement "add 1" in base k.

Hello there, I'm trying to process a binary file and I really don't know how. The story: gPhoto2 downloads the images from my camera just fine, but small areas of 10x3 pixels are screwed up. I found exactly where the problem happens and wrote a simple interpolation filter that works like a charm... under DOS, using the old QuickBasic. I've used Perl for a while, but never to handle binary data, so I'm at a loss; and I really want to get...

Is there a well-known algorithm for replacing many substrings in a string? For example, I'd like to take the string "abc def ghi jkl mno pqr" and replace, say, every instance of "abc", "ghi", and "mno" with another value. Of course the brute-force approach is straight forward. Just iterate over the full string N times (once for "abc", "ghi", and "mno"), find all instances, and replace them using the normal std::string member...

Hi, Is there a simple way of replacing a large number of substrings in a string? I was hoping that str.replace could take a dictionary and use it to replace the occurrences of the keys with the dict values, but that doesnt seem to be the case. To clarify, something along these lines.. >>> dict_replace( "a b c", dict(a="x", b="y") )

I have to process some data in C that is given to me as a char * array. I have a fairly large number of substrings (well, they're not actually printable, but let's treat them as strings) that I have to search for in the data. I need to keep a count of how often each of these substrings occurs in my original data and then print it out at the end. This is a fairly mundane task, but since I have so many substrings, it's a pain having to...

Hello all, I'm trying to find substrings that look like 'FOO blah blah blah' in a string. For example give 'blah FOO blah1a blah1b FOO blah2 FOO blah3a blah3b blah3b' I want to get three substrings, 'FOO blah1a blah1b', 'FOO blah2', and 'FOO blah3a blah3b blah3b'. I've tried numerous variations on '.*(FOO((?!FOO).)*)+.*' and everything I've tried either matches too much or too little.

Given a length k string,i want to search for 2 substrings (overlap possible) in a list consisting of length k-1 strings. These 2 substrings when 'united' give the original string. e.g given 'abc' i want to search in the list of 2-length strings to extract either 1) 'ab and 'ac' OR ('a' common) 2) 'ab' and 'bc' OR ('b' common) 3) 'ac' and 'bc' ('c' common) In all these cases, one of the letter is common in the 2 strings.

Is there a way to get the position of multiple substrings that match a regexp without using closures? match() returns the substrings themselves, not the positions, and search() seems to only return the first position. Here's what seems to work (under Shanti Rao's jsdb.exe shell) but I get a bit nervous about using closures... function bind_cache(x) { return function (subs,ofs) { x.push(); return ""; }} x=; f=bind_cache(x);

This problem was raised in comp.lang.perl.misc, and the poster was concerned, among other things, by the speed of execution. Since C is faster than perl, I wonder how a C coder would solve it? Given a *very* long string, A, and a shorter string, B, extract all substrings of A that differ from B in at most N positions. For example: N = 2 A = 'abcdefaacdefxbcxfaaabcdefaaaacdxf'
