<p>WOW!</p>
<p>I ran one of the other scripts and it took just under 24 hours to complete and I didn't get the answer I was expecting.</p>
<p>Your script ran in 40 seconds and gave me exactly what I was looking for!</p>
<p>Would you be willing to explain how this works? I get the declaration of the hash, the while loop to load the file (not sure what "undef $words{$word};" does) but the rest is pure magic!</p>
<p>Thank you so much for putting together this solution...I am truely blown away.</p>
<p>I tried to do this using T-SQL when I first encountered the problem but that was taking forever. Then I "tried" to use PERL but had way too many questions to get it to do what I needed. Your solution is awesome!</p>
Thanks again!
