All combinations of 4 variables with values 1-3
Hello,
i have txt files in a folder with names
1b1, 1b2, 1b3
2b1, 2b2, 2b3
3b1, 3b2, 3b3
4b1, 4b2, b43
Im trying to develope a patch that compares the differences between two txt files (with dna code for example).
I compare 4 txt files each time (1bx 2by 3bz 4bw) so want all the possible combinations of x y z w
1bx 2by 3bz 4bw
1
1
1
1
actually the first 2 characters of the txt's name are always the same because they mean
1b1 = Baby's 1 dna sample of father's 1 dna
1b2 = Baby's 1 dna sample of father's 2 dna
1b3 = Baby's 1 dna sample of father's 3 dna
2b1 = Baby's 2 dna sample of father's 1 dna...etc
i have a patch that only allows me to get 3 combinations
1b1 2b1 3b1 4b1
1b2 2b2 3b2 4b2
and 1b3 2b3 3b3 4b3
I want to apply this combinations in umenu if possible.
Thank you!
I think that's just a matter of writing it out, isn't it? IIRC there'd be 24 combinations?
ok i'll give it a try!
I think it is 3^4=81.
It is like 2^3=8 in binary
anw am not sure =)
Thank you very much!!!
I have never created my object. I am new.
How can i create my object.
Is that supposed to be in C, Java??
Can you give me some informations please??
Thank you!
I'd do it in java because it has built-in string comparison methods; also much easier to make an external in java imho-- have a look at the mxj help files and look for the document "WritingMaxExternalsInJava". You can also use javascript (js object), but I can't give advice on js -- I assume javascript has sophisticated string operation methods too... but you're on the right track-- there is no way I'd try and do what your doing without making an external for it
ok very nice!
Thank you very much!
