Generate list of all possible permutations of a string

Question

How would I go about generating a list of all possible permutations of a string between x and y characters in length, containing a variable list of characters.

Any l

Answer 1

Here is a simple word C# recursive solution:

Method:

public ArrayList CalculateWordPermutations(string[] letters, ArrayList words, int index)
        {
            bool finished = true;
            ArrayList newWords = new ArrayList();
            if (words.Count == 0)
            {
                foreach (string letter in letters)
                {
                    words.Add(letter);
                }
            }

            for(int j=index; j

Calling:

string[] letters = new string[]{"a","b","c"};
ArrayList words = CalculateWordPermutations(letters, new ArrayList(), 0);
