You should use Bowmore example (if it work, I did not tested it)

whats the difference between yashied's and bowmore's?

[martin]

In terms of the result there is no difference.

The Random function with a flag of 1 returns and integer, so technically you could say that the string format specifier should be "i" for an integer (or "d" which is the same thing) and not "s" which is for a string. In C this would be importatnt, in AutoIt it isn't.
