Hi,
Thanks for all the answers.
Surely the following sequence of words would produce Word[1-9]{1,2}
instead of Word[0-9]{1,2} because there is no representative 0 in
the sample ?
"Word1"
"Word2"
"Word5"
"Word8"
"Word11"
"Word19"
"Word23"
"Word45"
"Word77"
how
will the computer know that it should convert the list into Word[0-9]
{1,2}
instead of Word[1,2,5,8,4,7][1,9,3,5,7]?"
Don't think a reliable solution for this can exist. It's just too
few information to detect the right pattern.
Even as a human being I'm actually not even 75% sure what's the
right pattern for these words. How should a computer then?
I'm actually in a lucky position, because
1. The strings are not complicated at all.
2. I don't need the right solution – just ONE solution.
3. If it is the wrong solution, I use it as long as it works and then
I restart the search for the next solution. I will end up with a
solution, that satisfies all cases.
So does anybody know of a library, that would just come up with one
solution? I heard of Grail+, but…
Thanks
Phil
