Help speeding up a loop
Hi All
The following loop that loops through and generates all possible postcodes in the UK.
How can I change the attached code so that the outer part of each loop is not repeated?
Ie.
The loop has 4 parts...
The outer loop goes through a list of districts....
The Next part generates (1) 1 Digit
The inner part will Generate 1 Digit followed by 2 Characters
The Next part generates (2) 2 Digits
The inner part will Generate 1 Digit followed by 2 Characters
The Next part generates (3) 1 Digit & 1 Character
The inner part will Generate 1 Digit followed by 2 Characters
How would I remove the repeating outer part from each loop?
So that I would only require 1 loop that does something along the lines of
The outer loop goes through a list of districts....
The Next part generates (1) 1 Digit
The Next part generates (2) 2 Digits
The Next part generates (3) 1 Digit & 1 Character
The inner will Generate 1 Digit followed by 2 Characters
The main thing is though I still have to be able to have each loop outputing the format like so
Distric 1 Digit 1 Digit & 2 Characters
Distric 2 Digit 1 Digit & 2 Characters
Distric 1 Digit & 1 Character 1 Digit & 2 Characters
Any help would be great
many thanks

For Each r1 As String In District
s1 = r1
For Each r2 As String In Digit1
s2 = s1 & r2 & " "
For Each r3 As String In Digit1
s3 = s2 & r3
For Each r4 As String In Alpha2
'......do stuff
Next
Next
Next
'Pass 2
For Each r2 As String In Digit2
s2 = s1 & r2 & " "
For Each r3 As String In Digit1
s3 = s2 & r3
For Each r4 As String In Alpha2
'......do stuff
Next
Next
Next
'Pass 3
For Each r2 As String In Digit1
s2 = s1 & r2
For Each r3 As String In Alpha1
