I'm looking for a program that can generate a list of a combination of letters and check if it's available on a site. For example, you would select you want it 5 characters long and it would create the list from aaaaa-zzzzz, 00000-99999, but you could select to have from 3-5 characters and for each setting it would create a list. Once it creates a list, test to see if that name is already in use by submitting it and checking for a certain selection of words and any that are available, return the ones that would work.
Here's essentially what I want:
You select the number of characters, select what characters you want included, and click the button to generate the list. The label to the right says if the list is generated. Then you click Run List and it will check to see if any are available and display the ones that are in the List View. Then you can Save or Clear the list. Wanting it programmed in Basic so I can understand and alter it as needed.
If anyone's interested in helping me make this or simply making it for me, please let me know, thanks. I'd also like to have the source. I have vb6 and Visual Basic 2008 Express, but I'd prefer it be for 08 even though I don't think there's a real difference other than there are more commands available in 08.
I'd rather not release my purpose for this program unless it's someone helping me via IM.
