First.. I fixed the web page.. it reads ScRaM! now.. I misinterpreted what
you said that is why I was saying the things.. I dont know what file is
missing.. I included all you should need.. I will double check.. the only
one that could be needed is AW17.DLL but I don't know.. anyway.. I can post
here if I damn well please.. and I didn't make it a big deal.. everyone else
did..

such a way you don't get it anymore? Well, fine. Throw away a good chance to
learn something.

[View Quote] hm... in pseudo code:

For every element in the string
pick a random element somewhere in the string and swap.

This would operate in the string itself, so it would need no extra memory
(apart from an integer as index and a char as temporary swap storage). Also,
it would have O(n) complexity. So, it should be fast for both very small and
very large strings.

LOL !!!!
You're right... that's probably faster and sure is a LOT simpler... I don't know how I could miss that one lol... Thanks for sharing
that...
How could I imagine such solutions when this one was so easy?? Seems like the easiest ones can be the hardest to see... to me anyway
lol

Thanks.

[View Quote] The easy ones are *always* hard to see :-) but just think a bit, and you'll
find them eventually. It wasn't my first idea either.

it says "run time error 14, type mismatch" if that helps you
