Hi,
here is my solution.
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
exit if ARGV.size < 1
base = ARGV[0].to_i
length = ARGV[1].to_i || 0
IO.foreach "/usr/share/dict/american-english" do |line|
if (length > 0 and line.chomp.length == length) or length == 0
i = line.to_i base
puts "#{line.chomp} base #{base} = #{i}" if i > 0
end
end
Can this be all?!
