print all combinations of upper and lowercase of string

forumsguy — Thu, 07 May 2015 02:50:58 GMT

Is it possible to get all combinations of two word string in SAS and print it in log

E.g. My string is always

Codes find

And I want output like

Codes Find

cOdes fInd

CoDeS fiNd

Like this. My string contains 2 words. First word of 5 letters then a blank space and then 4 letter word.

I know that we can use regex for this . But somehow I am unable to get it solved.

Many thanks in advance

Not really. PRX is hard for this, But easy for data step:

data have;
string='Codes find';
run;
data _null_;
 set have;
 call symputx('n',length(string));
run;
data want;
set have;
array x{&n};
n=dim(x);
k=-1;
nsubs=2**n;
do i=1 to nsubs;
string=lowcase(string);
rc=graycode(k, of x{*});
 do j=1 to dim(x);
  if x{j}=1 then substr(string,j,1)=upcase(substr(string,j,1));
 end;
 output;
end;
keep string;
run;
