Traversing the intertubes i found a post by someone who had made a pseudorandom string generator in AutoIT. Here's what it looks like.
Func _pGenerate($sLen)
Local $aCharset = StringSplit("0123456789!@#$%^&*-_=+abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", "")
Local $sRand = 0, $sDupCheck = 0, $sReturn = ""
For $i = 1 to $sLen
$sRand = Round(Random(1, $aCharset[0], 1))
if $sRand < ($sDupCheck - 4) OR $sRand > ($sDupCheck + 4) Then
$sReturn &= $aCharset[$sRand]
$sDupCheck = $sRand
Else
$i -= 1
EndIf
Next
Return $sReturn
EndFunc ;==> _pGenerate()
Look at this monstrosity and what's up with all the silly dollar signs anyway? Besides i don't know if the guy messed his syntax up or this is actually how you do it but the else in his if/else statement is capitalized while the if is not (-_-")
From the top of my head, python does this in 3 lines of code and that's including import statements.
import random, string
def string_generator(length=10,chars=string.ascii_uppercase + string.ascii_lowercase + string.digits):
return ''.join(random.choice(chars) for _ in range(length)
Now if you will excuse me i have to scrub the filth that is AutoIT syntax from my retinas.
