;Definition
A word is an   ''ABC word''   if the letters  "'''a'''",  "'''b'''"  and  "'''c'''"  appear in itthe word in alphabetical order.
 
If any or all of these letters occur more than once in a word, then only the first occurrence of each letter should be used to determine whether a word is an  ''ABC word''  or not.
 
If any or all of these letters occur more than once in a word, then only the first occurrence of each letter should be used to determine whether a word is an ''ABC word'' or not.
 
;Task

=={{header|AppleScript}}==
===Core language===
This is a fairly simple solution, hard-coded for "a", "b", and "c". The 'offset' commands are performed by AppleScript's StandardAdditions OSAX, so the time taken by the multiple communications between the script and the OSAX makes the code comparatively slow. Still, the overall running time with the specified file on my current machine is less than 1.5 seconds.
<syntaxhighlight lang="applescript">on abcWords(wordFile)
-- The word file text is assumed to be UTF-8 encoded and to have one word per line.
script o
property wordList : paragraphs of (read wordFile as «class utf8»)
end script
set output to {}
repeat with thisWord in o's wordList
set thisWord to thisWord's contents
if ((thisWord contains "c") and ¬
(text 1 thru (offset of "c" in thisWord) of thisWord contains "b") and ¬
(text 1 thru (offset of "b" in thisWord) of thisWord contains "a")) then ¬
set end of output to thisWord
end repeat
return output
end abcWords
 
return abcWords(((path to desktop as text) & "www.rosettacode.org:unixdict.txt") as alias)</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="applescript">{"aback", "abacus", "abc", "abdicate", "abduct", "abeyance", "abject", "abreact", "abscess", "abscissa", "abscissae", "absence", "abstract", "abstracter", "abstractor", "adiabatic", "aerobacter", "aerobic", "albacore", "alberich", "albrecht", "algebraic", "alphabetic", "ambiance", "ambuscade", "aminobenzoic", "anaerobic", "arabic", "athabascan", "auerbach", "diabetic", "diabolic", "drawback", "fabric", "fabricate", "flashback", "halfback", "iambic", "lampblack", "leatherback", "metabolic", "nabisco", "paperback", "parabolic", "playback", "prefabricate", "quarterback", "razorback", "roadblock", "sabbatical", "snapback", "strabismic", "syllabic", "tabernacle", "tablecloth"}</syntaxhighlight>
 
The following alternative uses delimiters and text items instead and is considerably faster at around 0.25 seconds. Also, for the hell of it, it takes the characters (or even longer substrings) that the returned words must contain as a parameter. Same output here as above.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="applescript">on abcWords(wordFile, theLetters)
-- The word file text is assumed to be UTF-8 encoded and to have one word per line.
script o
property wordList : paragraphs of (read wordFile as «class utf8»)
end script
set output to {}
set letterCount to (count theLetters)
set astid to AppleScript's text item delimiters
repeat with thisWord in o's wordList
set thisWord to thisWord's contents
set thisLetter to end of theLetters
if (thisWord contains thisLetter) then
set matched to true
repeat with c from (letterCount - 1) to 1 by -1
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to thisLetter
set thisLetter to item c of theLetters
set matched to (thisWord's first text item contains thisLetter)
if (not matched) then exit repeat
end repeat
if (matched) then set end of output to thisWord
end if
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to astid
return output
end abcWords
 
return abcWords(((path to desktop as text) & "www.rosettacode.org:unixdict.txt") as alias, {"a", "b", "c"})</syntaxhighlight>
 
===AppleScriptObjC===
This is faster still at 0.01 seconds and uses AppleScriptObjC to access the regex facilities provided by macOS's Foundation framework. It too takes the characters the returned words must contain as a parameter, but, unlike the script above, doesn't recognise longer substring inputs as units in themselves. Same output as with the two "Core language" scripts above.
<syntaxhighlight lang="applescript">use AppleScript version "2.4" -- OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) or later
use framework "Foundation"
use scripting additions
 
on abcWords(wordFile, theLetters)
-- This NSString method used here guesses the word file's text encoding itself.
set wordText to current application's class "NSString"'s stringWithContentsOfFile:(POSIX path of wordFile) ¬
usedEncoding:(missing value) |error|:(missing value)
-- Assuming one word per line, build a regex pattern to match words containing the specified letters in the given order.
set theLetters to join(theLetters, "")
set pattern to "(?mi)^"
repeat with c from 1 to (count theLetters)
set pattern to pattern & (("[^" & text c thru end of theLetters) & ("\\v]*+" & character c of theLetters))
end repeat
set pattern to pattern & ".*+$"
set regexObj to current application's class "NSRegularExpression"'s ¬
regularExpressionWithPattern:(pattern) options:(0) |error|:(missing value)
set wordMatches to regexObj's matchesInString:(wordText) options:(0) range:({0, wordText's |length|()})
set matchRanges to wordMatches's valueForKey:("range")
set output to {}
repeat with thisRange in matchRanges
set end of output to (wordText's substringWithRange:(thisRange)) as text
end repeat
return output
end abcWords
 
on join(lst, delim)
set astid to AppleScript's text item delimiters

A word is an abc word if the order of the indices of 'a', 'b' and 'c' and the final letter of the word are unchanged by sorting. (The index of 'a' would be the length of the word -- one greater than the last index into the word -- if 'a' was missing from the word. So by including that last index in our list of indices to be sorted, we eliminate all words which are missing an 'a', 'b' or 'c'.)<syntaxhighlight lang="j"> >(#~ (-: /:~)@(<:@#,~i.&'abc')@>) cutLF tolower fread 'unixdict.txt'
