[RESOLVED] Generating Numbers..

Hmm, not sure how to put this really.. I wanna know if it's possible to generate a WHOLE list of the possible combinations you can make using 0-9.. An I want it to remove doubles if there are any.. Is there ANYWAY at all this coule be done?

for sure you can, how many digits you want

Oops, sorry I thought I posted how many I wanted. I wanna generate every possible 8 digit number using 0-9.. Thanks :).

sure you can, use a nested loop to do that

Erm, explain? :\

Where are you going to store 100 million numbers?

VB Code:

Dim i as Long
For i = 0 to 99999999
   '..
Next

See, I tried that once before I posted here.. I tried everything.. I don't need it to start at 0 I need it to start at 00000000 and end at 99999999... Every digit has to be 8 digits long..

VB Code:

Dim i As Long
    For i = 0 To 99999999
        MsgBox Format$(i, "00000000")
    Next

Heh.. Anyway at all to make VB not freeze for this?

try adding a DoEvents inside the loop, and what are you doing with that values? That's why I asked if you're storing them somewhere or what, the MsgBox is just an example it shouldn't be there.

try

VB Code:

do while i< 99999999
doevents
    Dim i As Long
    For i = 0 To 99999999
        MsgBox Format$(i, "00000000")
    Next
loop

Why you added another loop if you already have one?

Yea, he is right. the

Code:

---

do while i < 99999999
'blah blah
loop

Still made it freeze so I took that out and added the doevents into the for loop and it works fine. Thanks both of you guys.. :)

well that will make it loop through everything in the loop, if there was more than one thing, and prevent it from locking up. I learned that early on when programming my game..
