Generate Random word

[Vladi243]

I found this topic by search.

There is this script

$string="a,b,c,d"
$Array=StringSplit($string,",")
$i=Random(0,UBound($Array)-1,1)
MsgBox(0,"Random",$Array[$i])

It's generates a random letter (a/b/c/d). The problem is that sometimes it generates the number "4". Why?

Can you give me better script for generating random word?

Because the person who wrote forgot that the first element in the array returned by StringSplit is in fact the count of elements in the array.

Just change Random(0...... to Random(1....

From the help file:

;Random letter
If Random() < 0.5 Then
    ;Capitals
    $Letter = Chr(Random(Asc("A"), Asc("Z"), 1))
Else
    ;Lower case
    $Letter = Chr(Random(Asc("a"), Asc("z"), 1))
Endif
