Cyborg5000,

This works for me: :)

#include <Array.au3>
#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = _IECreate("https://www.random.org/passwords/?num=1&len=8&format=html&rnd=new")
; Read page content
$sText = _IEDocReadHTML($oIE)
; Extract the password
$aExtract = StringRegExp($sText, '(?U)"data">(?:\v*)<li>(.*)</li>', 3)
; And here it is
_ArrayDisplay($aExtract, "", Default, 8)
SRE decode:

(?U)     - Look for smallest match (Ungreedy)
"data">  - Look for this string
(?:\v*)  - followed by any number of vertical white space characters (to cover CR/LF/CRLF etc) in a non-capturing group
<li>     - followed by this tag
(.*)     - Capture everything
</li>    - until this tag

ConsoleWrite(_RandomPassword()&@LF)
Exit

Func _RandomPassword($__PWlength = 8)
    Local $__pwd = ''
    For $x = 1 To $__PWlength
        While 1
            $_rnd = Random(65,122,1)
            If $_rnd < 91 Or $_rnd > 96 Then ExitLoop
        WEnd
        $__pwd &= Chr($_rnd)
    Next
    Return $__pwd
EndFunc 

Cyborg5000, wouldn't be easier if you gen them? If they are random, why bother getting them from that site?

 

Heroes, there is no such thing

One day I'll discover what IE.au3 has of special for so many users using it.
C'mon there's InetRead and WinHTTP, way better

Also with InetRead :

Local $sText = BinaryToString(InetRead("https://www.random.org/passwords/?num=1&len=8&format=html&rnd=new"))
$aRet = StringRegExp($sText, '<li>([[:alnum:]]{8})</li>', 1)
If IsArray($aRet) Then MsgBox(0, "", $aRet[0])

But it should be simplier to generate the password directly with AutoIt, like Kyan suggests.

Edit :

ConsoleWrite(_Password() )

Func _Password($iLen = 8, $iFlagSpecialChars = 0)
    Local $sStandardChars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789", $sPassword
    Local $sSpecialChars = "$@^`,|%;.~()/\{}:?[]=-+_#!"
    
    Local $sChars = $sStandardChars
    If $iFlagSpecialChars Then $sChars &= $sSpecialChars
    
    For $i = 1 To $iLen
        $sPassword &= StringMid($sChars, Random(1, StringLen($sChars), 1), 1)
    Next
    Return $sPassword
EndFunc

This too is a good option Kyan, thanks
