Many thanks.
Many thanks. It works pretty well. Sorry could not respond earlier. Am in review meetings the whole day and the only free time-slot is late night (now) or early morning (when I posted the message. Will be free this weekend. But will have tested the code by then.
Many thanks once again for all your hard efforts.

---------- Post updated at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous update was at 11:17 AM ----------

Have tested it on a dictionary (master of around 108527 sorted words) and gave it an input file of around (20 words. It is slow. The first split is spewed out fast but the succeeding ones just don't come out.
I know that it has to test a lot of possible combos and hence the slow speed. Any method of speeding up the script.
Many thanks once more for all your help.
