Babel Hello

{{$t('general.by')}}
JeremyTubbs.com
Inspired by "The Library of Babel" by Jorge Luis Borges (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Library_of_Babel). This sketch randomly generates a sequence of letters until the word "hello" is generated. There are 11,881,376 possible permutations of 5 letters... my version has 439,400 possible permutations by limiting the second and fifth letter to only vowels. The program outputs a ".txt" file of permutations. Improvements: adding a look up table with "hello" in different languages and sorting permutations into alphabetical arrays to speed up redundancy checking.
