Hi there I've just been playing around with some python code and I've got a fun little optimization problem I could use some help with. Basically, the program needs to take in a random list of no more than 10 letters, and find all possible mutations that match a word in my dictionary (80k words). However a wildcard letter '?' is also an acceptable character which increases the worst case time significantly. So if the letters are check...

is there a simple way to make it so your regex only matches whole words? i was thinking simply something like: *match_string* but then I think it would fail if the word was at the beginning or end of a line?

Hi I have a string containing a phrase, and I want to search for a particular word and get its index. I've tried a couple of things already: InStr(phrase, word) - this doesn't work because it finds "subwords", eg. If I search for "colour" in a phrase containing "colourful", it'll still detect it.

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
