Help - just a few lines of code needed

[lory88]

Hi

I hope someone can help me out with a very SIMPLE program
about whole string permutations. That is: given a list of strings,
the required outcome is a complete set of all their possible
permutations.
It's like character permutations of a string, but this time it is
whole strings instead of single characters that have to be permuted.

I need this because I don't remember exactly the password to open
my zipped archives, but i do remember the bits of strings
that made up the long passphrase.

Could someone kindly write a simple program that, after reading a set
of
strings contained in a .txt file (one string on each line),
produces as output another .txt file containing all the possible
permutations/combinations of those strings.

For example, the text file with the set of strings may contain:

HOUSE
jolly
---
0&
99
and the output file contains:

HOUSE
HOUSEjolly
HOUSE---
HOUSE0&

and so on...
....with the word combinations growing extensively,
so as to exhaust all the possibilities:

e.g.

---99jolly0&
jolly0&---99HOUSE

etc. etc.

Unfortunately I am not able to program it myself, so
I would appreciate if someone could write this piece of
software, compile it (for DOS or Windows) and send the .exe file to:

I thank you all in advance.

It could certainly be done in C, but one might as well use
text-processing tool such as perl.

For some of the zip programs, there are very efficient password
cracking tools.
