A way for random letters instead of numbers?

[lolp1]

Didn't see a random func in the help file for letters, only numbers. Any UDF's out there for it?

How to generate around 6-8 random chars in one string?

How to generate around 6-8 random chars in one string?

Use a loop .... and append a character in every cycle of the loop.

Use a loop .... and append a character in every cycle of the loop.

Would be fairly lengthy no? Is there a faster way?

Got an example of what you mean? Cause the way I'm thinking would take a second or two to generate 7 chars

[Generator]

Global $Name[8]

$TimeIni=TimerInit()

For $i= 0 to UBound($Name,1)-1

$Name[$i]=StringLower(Chr(Random(65,90,1)))

Next

$Time=TimerDiff($TimeIni)

_ArrayDisplay($Name)

This is very weird there is no easier way to get a random letter of 6 characters.

The end goal is to obtain a random 6 letters in one string, and then store it to a variable. (So I can send it later on)

Send($variable..)

[Jos]

$tm = TimerInit()
$String1 = GetRandomString(6,8)
$String2 = GetRandomString(6,8)
ConsoleWrite("Time:" & TimerDiff($tm) & "   String1:" & $String1 & "   String2:" & $String2 & @CRLF)

Func GetRandomString($min=1,$max=8)
    Local $retString
    For $x = 1 to int(Random($min,$max+1)-.5)
        $retString &= StringLower(Chr(Random(65,90,1)))
    Next
    Return $retString
EndFunc

Works faster then I thought... thanks, works fine.
