Original Challenge Description from matasano
Detect single-character XOR
One of the 60-character strings in this file has been encrypted by single-character XOR.
Find it.
My Solution
As the hint suggested previous code would help. I realized that my English score engine could be modified to print the score first so that it would be easier to sort numerically based on the score.
So I changed the changed program to print "nnn is score" instead of "score is nnn" ( where nnn is the numeric score) and with some bash scripting, its party time!
I know, later I may have to change this a bit to handle everything within C program :)
