Hi, how can i generate a random text string from out of nowhere?

(I'm currently using exec plugin to execute the pwgen command to a file - then reading the file with fread.)

When you say out of nowhere , what you mean by saying this?

[linuxthefish]

For example "Oochah9e" is a random string.

And why you want to use the random string or whatever you call it?

pawn Code:

stock randomString(strDest[], strLen = 10)
{
    while(strLen--)
        strDest[strLen] = random(2) ? (random(26) + (random(2) ? 'a' : 'A')) : (random(10) + '0');
}

Example:

pawn Code:

new
    string[10]
;
randomString(string, 10);

I'm not discussing my project ideas.

Thanks, that's just what i was looking for!

string[9] = random(bla bla) = crash, must be +1

pawn Code:

new
    string[11]
;

:> string[10] = EOS

No, you're wrong - we first subtract than assign so it will always have 1 less. If you print this:

pawn Code:

while(strLen--) // strLen is assigned to 10
    printf("%d", strLen);

Then you'll see that this will give

Code:

9
8
7
6
5
4
3
2
1
0

which is actually safe.

But string[9] should be 0
