What language would it be best to write this in?

[Shaaaaun *BANNED*]

I'm looking to make a "program" to generate a list of possible matches onto a text file. So my question is what would be the best language to code this in.
Also if I a little bit ofprogramming experience.

E.g Generate all possibites from AAA through to ZZZ

AAA
AAB
AAC
etc.

Your not actually matching anything so I'm slightly confused however, I will presume you want a name checker, and you want to check every 3 letter combination, I'll also presume that you want alphanumeric combinations as well. To answer your question, any language could do this since you have little programming knowledge, I would recommend u use vb/c# for its simplicity. It's not a simple program to make either, not if you want to use multi threading to check multiple names at once etc.

On another note, if it's a name checker for rs names, it's already been done a thousand times over.

Do it in Python, it would be the easiest.

Go to udacity.com and take the Computer Science 101 course. You learn Python from the ground up and in week 2 I believe you cover something very similar to that.
If you dedicate enough time to it you can get there in two days. (I did at least, but I already knew Python.)

I also suggest you set up PyDev in Eclipse before you begin.

I already have the name checker I just need the names to check.

Thanks, I will check out that website.

i think vb.net is the best for you

take the prior advice and use Python. Probably your best bet if you aren't very experienced with coding.

Python isn't recommended for making actual apps.
Python are scripts which are pain in the ass to distribute and slow, python is slow.

Any language would be fine for that
