Generate sequence of combinations put together from ascii characters or from custom text files

👋 Hi, I’m Adrian
I’m a CS enthusiast, self-taught programmer and a hobbyist game dev.

I mostly create scripts and apps in Python or work on websites and webapps. For game dev, I use Unreal Engine 4/5 and Blender.

Technologies I work in/use: Python, JS, SQL, HTML, Wordpress, Bash, Git, Unreal Engine

sequence_generator's Issues

Use generators repeadetly / Repeat

At this moment the sequence goes through every generator once, in case of option "Random (sequence)" only one random generator is used per result. Make it so each generator group can be repeated multiple times per once combination OR repeat themselves until say, a specified amount of characters have been created. This option would be useful for creating password-type combinations without sacrificing all generator space.

Example 1:
Generator order is set to "Ordered (1 -> n)"
Having 3 generators will create a combination of exactly 3 characters

Generators (letters, numbers, random symbols):
letter -> number -> random symbol = "a1@"

Example 2:
If there was a repeat setting then N generators will repeat for N amount of times
Having 3 generators repeat for 3 times will create a combination of 9 characters

Generators (letters, numbers) and 4 loops:
letter -> number = "a1" -> letter -> number = "a1b2" -> letter -> number = "a1b2c3" -> letter -> number = "a1b2c3d4"

Example 3:
If there was a repeat setting BUT for target length of combination
Having 2 generators will be looped through until the target character length (5) of combination has been reached

Generators (letters, numbers) and 5 character length:
letter -> number = "a1" -> letter -> number = "a1b2" -> letter == "a1b2c"

Random Number Generator: Set Range

Currently the range for random numbers is 0-9, allow user to change it to their liking.

Save / Import Settings

Export / Import combination and generator settings.
Should use custom file extension.

Indices in custom text files

Allow user to user indices when taking string input from custom text files

• Character index range
• Step (1 or -1) to allow for string reversing

Error Dialog

Display a error message in case of bad input (letters in entry box that is meant for numeric input etc.) and tell user what went wrong

Output Log

When a sequence is generated inform user on:

• How many combinations were created successfully
• How many combinations have been skipped over due to "No Duplicates" #1 setting
• TBD

Prerequisites:
Issue #1

Unique combinations / No duplicate results

The program should allow for unique combinations either per sequence or per text file.

• Make the checkbox for this option actually work
• The combination should look for new unique result continuously, stop when it's not possible and in that case the next generator or pair of generators take their turn. Rinse and repeat.

Start From x number when using a number generator

When using a number generator, allow users to choose what number the sequence will start from.

Example 1:
Start From 0
[0] combination_1
[1] combination_2
[2] combination_3
etc.

Example 2:
Start From 100
[100] combination_1
[101] combination_2
[102] combination_3
etc.

Multiple text inputs for custom text

Allow users to create array of text inputs, this is useful when when we want to use order or random text lines without having to create new text files.

Multiple text files not working

If more than one text file is present the others don't work, the session only takes contents of the first one and is then blocked. This results in output only giving results from the first file multiple times.
