Side "Fack" - bplus - 06-30-2023 A little side track from BSpinoza's great Expresso thread: https://qb64phoenix.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=956&pid=17352#pid17352 Because I have little control over what my brain or heart finds interesting I became curious how many words can be made by replacing tr in a word with an f, just no accounting for what we humans will get into! I was thinking about writing a little poem, haiku.... something with clever substitutions of tr with f. So wouldn't it be helpful to have a double list of real words you can substitute tr with f. I had a Collins_Word_List.RA file already used for checking for real words in Boggle or other Word Play apps so lets make a list of real words made by replacing tr's with f's Code: (Select All) '2023-06-29 took over an hour to get debugged Output in zip and RA (Random Access Dictionary). The RA file requires a String * 15 long record variable to do word lookups without having to load the whole file into an array. I wonder if @TDarcos or anyone (I offer rep points!) would care to finish this thread with some cute conversion of tr words to f words see "tr to f.txt" file in zip Update: Download zip extracted and checked for proper "tr to f.txt" file, yep! OK 253 words but you either know the tr word or the f word but only rarely know both! So it will take a mind wackier than mine (maybe) to compose a cute little saying. Hey! what a great way to kick off the Summer of Fun with a new banner and a little challenge! |
