I wish to use Outer to generate some very long lists but I am running out of memory. Essentially I have something like LongList=Outer[List,a,b,c, ..... k,1] where a is a two or three element list and similary for b,c,...k. In total there are about 32,000 possible permutations of these elements. I am wondering if I can generate and write these elements one at a time instead of MMA trying to hold all 32,000 in memory at once (also there are going to be some 32,000 brackets I will have to get rid of because of the way Outer returns its output). Any suggestions? Thanks. Alex Alex Tabarrok Department of Economics Ball State University EMail: 00ATTabarrok at BSU.Edu
