[comp.sources.wanted] WANTED FILE NAME GENERATOR

lwv@n8emr.UUCP (Larry W. Virden) (05/13/88)

I am looking for a standalone pgm that would allow me to do things like:

generate 'ab{a-c}{a-j,x-z}' 
and would return to stdout 
abaa abab abac abad" and so forth down to "abcy abcz".  Note that
csh has some code in there somewhere that does part of this - I can say
'ab{a,b,c}{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,x,y,z}' and get what I want.  I am looking
for some way to specify ranges in there though.  

Note that I want to invoke this from ksh shell scripts ...

Anyone with some ideas?
