Since my tool didn't sell I'll hand it out for free.
I wrote a program to analyze domain names according to the letters they contain. The main purpose is of course to automatically find valuable LLLL.com domain names but the program can be used to find good letter combinations of domains of any size and extension. All you need is the program and a list of available domain names of your extension as you can for example find it in this thread.
Here's how it works.
At first there's a file called groups.txt. In this file you can create groups of letters. The default file looks like this:
This file contains group definitions. Each group is identified by a single character (the letter in front of the colon) and contains a number of characters (the characters after the colon). The standard groups are "All", "Letters", "Vowels", "Consonants", "Top consonants", "Worthless consonants" and "Numbers.
So, what are these groups good for? Here's where the rules file rules.txt comes into play.
Here's the example rules file:
This file contains a number of definitions (rules) what domains should look like. Take for example the first rule "VVVV". According to the groups file the letter V identifies the group vowels. Therefore the first rule extracts all vowel-only domain names from the domain list file.
A slightly more complex example is the rule TTVV. According to the groups file T identifies top consonants. That means this rule will identify all four letter domain names starting with two top consonants followed by two top vowels.
You don't have to use all wildcards though. The last two rules show that you can use actual letters in the rules too. Whenever a letter can't be found as a group identifier in the group definition file it is assumed that the rule wants to have the actual letter at this position. Therefore the last two rules search for domains containing sax, sex, six, sox or sux and an arbitrary fourth character.
The program allows you to freely define your own groups and rules. You have complete liberty over what exactly you want to search for, how important you think certain letters are and how complex your groups are.
The program is a commandline program which can be very easily used. You just have to navigate into the directory where the EXE file, the files rules.txt and groups.txt and the domain list file are found. Once you're there you can start the program with "bestfour domainfile.txt". The program will then print out all domains that matched the defined rules.
Example output:
To write the output into a file of your choice start the program with "bestfour domainfile.txt > yourfile.txt".
This program is available for $8 or 320 NP$. Please note that this program requires the .NET framework 2.0. If you haven't installed it already this is an additional free 20 MB download from http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/

Code:
A:abcdefghijklmopqrstuvwxyz1234567890-
L:abcdefghijklmopqrstuvwxyz
V:aeiou
C:bcdfghjklmpqrstvwxyz
T:lcthns
W:jqxzby
N:1234567890This file contains group definitions. Each group is identified by a single character (the letter in front of the colon) and contains a number of characters (the characters after the colon). The standard groups are "All", "Letters", "Vowels", "Consonants", "Top consonants", "Worthless consonants" and "Numbers.
So, what are these groups good for? Here's where the rules file rules.txt comes into play.
Here's the example rules file:
Code:
#All of the same category
VVVV Only vowels
TTTT Only top consonants
# CCCC Only consonants
NNNN Only numbers
#Top consonant rules
VTTT Vowel at first position, other letters are top consonants
TVTT Vowel at second position, other letters are top consonants
TTVT Vowel at third position, other letters are top consonants
TTTV Vowel at fourth position, other letters are top consonants
VVTT Two vowels followed by two top consonants
VTVT Vowel, top consonant, vowel, top consonant
VTTV Vowel, two top consonants, vowel
TVVT Top consonant, two vowels, top consonant
TVTV Top consonant, vowel, top consonant, vowel
TTVV Two top consonants followed by two vowels
#Consonant rules
VCCC Vowel at first position, other letters are consonants
CVCC Vowel at second position, other letters are consonants
CCVC Vowel at third position, other letters are consonants
CCCV Vowel at fourth position, other letters are consonants
VVCC Two vowels followed by two consonants
VCVC Vowel, consonant, vowel, consonant
VCCV Vowel, two consonants, vowel
CVVC Consonant, two vowels, consonant
CVCV Consonant, vowel, consonant, vowel
CCVV Two consonants followed by two vowels
#Other example rules
sVxA Try to find domains containing s vowel x (sax, sex, six, sox, sux)
AsVx Try to find domains containing s vowel x (sax, sex, six, sox, sux)This file contains a number of definitions (rules) what domains should look like. Take for example the first rule "VVVV". According to the groups file the letter V identifies the group vowels. Therefore the first rule extracts all vowel-only domain names from the domain list file.
A slightly more complex example is the rule TTVV. According to the groups file T identifies top consonants. That means this rule will identify all four letter domain names starting with two top consonants followed by two top vowels.
You don't have to use all wildcards though. The last two rules show that you can use actual letters in the rules too. Whenever a letter can't be found as a group identifier in the group definition file it is assumed that the rule wants to have the actual letter at this position.

Once you're there you can start the program with "bestfour domainfile.txt". The program will then print out all domains that matched the defined rules.
Example output:
Code:
Matches for rule VVVV Only vowels

Matches for rule NNNN Only numbers
Matches for rule VTTT Vowel at first position, other letters are top consonants
