Create Random Word or letter

[Medic873]

Obviously using the random number system is quite easy. But how can I make it create random words or at least random letters.

Thank You

Does this help you? The key function to creating a random letter is Chr() you can look it up in the helpfile.

Local $aWordList[10] = ["word0","word1","word2","word3","word4","word5","word6","word7","word8","word9"]
ConsoleWrite("Capital = " & Chr(Random(65,90,1)) & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Lowercase = " & Chr(Random(97,122,1)) & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Word = " & $aWordList[Random(0,UBound($aWordList)-1,1)] & @CRLF)
Exit

Exit

and if you want to make sure that the result is a word, or have a word suggested based on the random letters; you can use word's spellcheck to confirm or get suggestions using com objects.

Local $sWord, $sRes, $iCount = 0
Local $oWord = ObjCreate("Word.application")

While $iCount < 5
    For $i = 1 To Random(3, 9, 1)
        $sWord &= Chr(Random(97, 122, 1))
    Next
    If $oWord.CheckSpelling($sWord) Then
        $iCount += 1
        $sRes &= $iCount & ". Word = " & $sWord & @CRLF
        ConsoleWrite($iCount & ". Word = " & $sWord & @CRLF)
    EndIf
    $sWord = ""
WEnd
$oWord.quit
MsgBox(0, "Results", $sRes)

exactly. i had posted an example somewhere a while ago, but didn't have time to actually write something up today, thanks

my only thing is if I ever use this snippet on a computer without word will it work

thank you

no, without word installed, word components will most definitely not work

***edit***

but if it has other office programs like excel etc; you can still use the spell check from objects created from those applications instead.
