This is a follow up to the thread I posted a couple of weeks ago. In the original thread I had requested a simple program that could analyze a 649 data-file for triple pairings. I wanted the program to list all the triple pairings present and there frequency. I also wanted these triples to be listed from the highest occurring to the lowest. In the original thread I should have stated that the data files that I have been working with are .txt files with no special formatting. The data-sets consist of 6 numbers in a row with 1 space between each of the numbers. Each row represents 1 draw and the draws are arranged in the order of the most recent to the oldest. These files are compatible with Ion Saliu’s lottery software, which I utilize to generate optimum combinations. The lottery software that I have seen being offered on the web, that could possibly perform this task, generally have a limited time frame of usage before one has to purchase the software to continue doing so. I am looking for software that would be classified as shareware of freeware. There was a reply to my previous thread in which excell was utilized to perform this task. This would be great as long as I could import .txt files into excell without running into any formatting issues. Since I am working with large files it would be too time consuming to have to enter each combination 1 by 1 not to mention that there would be a high probability of a data entry error occurring. Thank you for your help and I eagerly await your reply.
