@Bubbler Sure, it's possible. One approach is to store the program's source in a string, and then run some sort of code that generates every possible string, checking after each generation whether the generated string contains the source string, and only printing if it doesn't. There might be some trouble in making sure the source isn't present in a combination of two consecutively generated strings (i.e. if the source code is AB, then outputting XA and BX consecutively is an issue), but a simple solution to that is to insert a character not present in the source between each pair.

| Jun 7, 2021 at 1:39 | comment | added | Bubbler | It should still output every other possible string, just not itself (or, obviously, any strings which it is a substring of) Okay, the task makes sense now. I think you'll need to add that information somewhere before the sentence I quoted. Now I wonder if the task is actually possible... | |
| Jun 7, 2021 at 1:13 | comment | added | je je | @Bubbler The strings don't have to be separated. What I mean is that every string should be a substring of the "main" output if that makes sense. Put another way, running a regex match on the output for any string of characters (other than the source) should return at least one result. Would adding something to that effect clear up that confusion? | |
| Jun 7, 2021 at 1:06 | comment | added | Bubbler | How are the strings in the output separated? Some previous challenges about "print all possible strings" were closed as unclear because of this. | |
