Just to list all permutations of a-z with a length of 26,
Who said you needed that many letters? Setting it to allow a person to list all of the combinations for N number of characters would let a person just do shorter lists if desired (4-8 length, perhaps).
Yes, it's still a lot of lines, but it's *considerably* fewer than a length of 26.
EDIT:
Besides, Jaytea's does what was asked. It's still slow for large lengths, but here's a timetable on some of the shorter lenghts...
1 length = 0.015s
2 lengths = 0.578s
3 lengths = 15.000s
Basically, mutliply by 26 each time, so length 4 would be 15*26=390s or 6.5 minutes. Length 5 would be 169 minutes or 2.8 hours. Etc.
For 8 characters, which may be as far as the OP would want, it would take 2062.74 days to complete. Doesn't that sound like fun.
Of course, that may be what you were referring to... not the limit of mIRC, but the speed. And, for that, yes, it would take too long. Though, you could probably speed it up by just doing a list of, say 4 characters, then copy the lines, automatically insert a in front of every line, paste those and insert b in front of every line, paste again, insert c, etc. I don't feel like seeing if that's any faster for the larger lengths, but it may be.
