Random password from a list

[Niclas 0]

I've written a script with AutoIT, which opens the config of a Netgear router and enters a password in the wireless settings.

After that the config is saved and the browser window will be closed.

This works well already but naturally only the password used in the script is always being entered.

Now I'd like the script to be run by the windows taskplaner each second day.

For not having always the same password being entered I'd like AutoIt to open up a textfile (or whatever) and pick a random entry to enter as the new password in the Netgear configuration.

Additionally a window should pop up, showing the recent password after it has been entered and eventually an e-mail should be generated in which also the used password is entered.

Can this be realized with AutoIt ? There are the functions "FileRead" and "FileReadLine" but how can a textfile being opened before and a random entry being picked ?

Hi,

no problem. Random. _FileReadToArray, even sending an email ist no prob.

#include <file.au3>
$pass = "pass.txt"
$count = _FileCountLines($pass)
$read = FileReadLine($pass,Random(1, $count, 1))
MsgBox(1,"tt",$read)

little example

Great ! That did it.

Many thanks.

The next problem is, that instead off one of the passwords being entered, the only entry being made is a "3". But the window popping up thereafter shows the randomly picked password.

Any clue ?

Ja, werde mich dann mal wohl registrieren.

Habe diesen Post auch im deutschen Unattended-Forum gepostet, aber da kam noch nicht allzuviel zurück.

Has anyone a clue why only a "3" is entered into the textfield of the router config instead off the randomly chosen password out of the textfile ?

Like I said, the messagebox shows the chosen password correctly.

Thanks to th.meger it's solved.

Instead off "Send($count)" it had to be "Send($read)".
