G'day chickenlips,

Here's a solution using index and splice. (Obviously, you'll need to use your code to generate the random word - I've just allowed entering it from the command line for testing purposes.)

$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -E ' print q{Random word: }; RAND: while (my $randword = <>) { chomp $randword; say "Input words using only letters in: $randword"; INPUT: while (my $inword = <>) { chomp $inword; my @randchars = split q{} => $randword; my $char_count = 0; CHAR: for my $in_char (split q{}, $inword) { ++$char_count; my $pos = index join(q{} => @randchars), $in_char; if ($pos >= 0) { splice @randchars, $pos, 1; } else { say "Failed on char: $in_char (at position $char_count +)"; next INPUT; } } say "$inword OK"; } print q{Random word: }; } print "\n"; '

Here's a sample run:

Random word: qqwe Input words using only letters in: qqwe ew ew OK ewq ewq OK ewqq ewqq OK qewq qewq OK qqewq Failed on char: q (at position 5) qqqwe Failed on char: q (at position 3) Random word: aaaabcde Input words using only letters in: aaaabcde qwe Failed on char: q (at position 1) asd Failed on char: s (at position 2) abcdef Failed on char: f (at position 6) abcde abcde OK aaaab aaaab OK aaaaab Failed on char: a (at position 5) Random word: ^D

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
