Using Random Function in the Sleep Function not working

[aviaf]

new at autoit and im trying to get the script to pause inbetween steps for a random amount of time: actually between 3000-24000 ms

I successfully made it sleep and pause the script by using:

Sleep(3000)

which makes it pause 3 sec

but i want it to stop a random amount between 3-24 sec

so i thought to use:

Sleep(Random ( [3000 [, 24000 [, 0]]] ))

But when i run it it comes up with an error that says:

"Sleep(Random ( [3000 [, 24000 [, 0]]] ))

Sleep(Random ( ^ ERROR

Error: Error in expression."

What am I doing wrong?

Also, another problem, I want to add a little comment in the script so i can keep track of diff components of the script cuz its so long, what do i add to it so its not executed but just there like a description. thx

The brackets are used to show you that those parameters are optional.

Sleep(Random(3000, 24000, 1))

Sleep(Random(3000, 24000, 1))

oh ok, thanks, it works now, (I took it straight from the help file and jsut changed min max, and flag )

Anything for the second problem?
