Words from neighbour ones

Task

Use the dictionary unixdict.txt

Ignore any word in the dictionary whose length is less than 9.

Let's take the words from next characters:
1 <= n < (dictionary length) - 9.
char1 = 1^st character of n^th word.
char2 = 2^nd character of (n+1)^th word.
char3 = 3^rd character of (n+2)^th word.
⋮
char9 = 9^th character of (n+8)^th word.

Concatenate (append) the nine characters by:

      newword = char1 + char2 + char3 + ... + char9

If newword is in the dictionary, then show on this page.

Length of newword = 9

Factor[edit]

{ "abc" "def" "ghi" } 2 clump produces { { "abc" "def" } { "def" "ghi" } }. <clumps> is the same idea except it doesn't actually store all that redundant information in memory; it's a generator that generates clumps on demand. Notice that clumps are matrices, so we can take their diagonal with main-diagonal.

jq[edit]

For speed, this solution constructs a JSON object as a dictionary ($hash):

 
# input: the dictionary
# $n: starting point (starting at 0)
def form_word($n):
   . as $dict
   | reduce range(0;9) as $i (""; . + $dict[$n+$i][$i: $i+1] );
 
[inputs | select(length >= 9)]
| . as $dict
| (reduce.[] as $x ({}; .[$x]=true)) as $hash
| range(0; length-9) as $i | form_word($i) | select($hash[.])

Output:

["applicate","architect","astronomy","christine","christoph","committee","committee","committee","committee","committee","composite","constrict","constrict","construct","different","extensive","greenwood","implement","improvise","intercept","interpret","interrupt","interrupt","philosoph","prescript","receptive","telephone","transcend","transcend","transport","transpose"]

Removing duplicates efficiently[edit]

Using `def form_word`, we have only to modify the last line above:

[inputs | select(length >= 9)]
| . as $dict
| (reduce.[] as $x ({}; .[$x]=true)) as $hash
| reduce range(0; length-9) as $i ({$hash};
       ($dict | form_word($i)) as $w
       | if .hash[$w] then .hash[$w] = null | .words += [$w] else . end)
| .words

REXX[edit]

This REXX version doesn't care what order the words in the dictionary are in, nor does it care what
case (lower/upper/mixed) the words are in, the search for the words is caseless.

It also allows the minimum length to be specified on the command line (CL) as well as the dictionary file identifier.
