----------------------------------- beedub Sat May 31, 2003 10:20 pm random letters ----------------------------------- if i were to create something that just made random letters how would i do that. I can do it with ints just not letters. ----------------------------------- Martin Sat May 31, 2003 10:27 pm ----------------------------------- Well, first of all each letter has its own character code, accessed by the ord command. Here's how you'd make random letters appear loop if Rand.Int(0,1) = 1 then put chr(Rand.Int(ord('a'), ord ('z'))) else put chr(Rand.Int(ord('A'), ord('Z'))) end if end loop ----------------------------------- beedub Sat May 31, 2003 10:34 pm ----------------------------------- then how would i incorporate ints or other chars into that? ----------------------------------- beedub Sat May 31, 2003 11:23 pm ----------------------------------- also after it is done every possible pattern of lettering... i want it to stop... how do i do that? ----------------------------------- Tony Sat May 31, 2003 11:48 pm ----------------------------------- you generate a random integer, take it as ASCII value and print character based on that put chr(integer) what Darkness did here is he use ord to calculate ASCII values between a and z I don't understand what you mean with letter patterns ----------------------------------- Blade Sun Jun 01, 2003 12:21 am ----------------------------------- if you mean just get 26 letters... which would be every letter in the alphabet... just run a for loop for 26 instead of a conditional loop... but elaborate more on the question ----------------------------------- beedub Sun Jun 01, 2003 8:57 am ----------------------------------- i meant that... when there is every possible pattern of letters and numbers done it just stops. heres an example lets say you want to find a combo for a lock. you start off with 1-1-1. then you go with maybe 1-2-1, then maybe 1-3-1 and so on until you get every possible one of those. But then you dont find the combo. then ur screwed and in this case the program stops. ----------------------------------- Blade Sun Jun 01, 2003 12:08 pm ----------------------------------- well you still havent really answered the question... you want every possible combonation... with how many letters&numbers? you say a lock. well in this case theres only 3 numbers to a combonation... how many do you want for htis one? ----------------------------------- Dan Sun Jun 01, 2003 1:31 pm ----------------------------------- i am the only one that sees somting going on here? 1st he asks if there is a way to link a progme to the net and then he ask about making a progame out put every comabo for a set of chars and nums. he is trying to make a hacking progamer :twisted: , lol not that i care if any one helps you make it or not i just thougth that it was funny that no one cahogt on to that yet. :lol: ----------------------------------- beedub Sun Jun 01, 2003 2:45 pm ----------------------------------- yes i am... lol ----------------------------------- beedub Sun Jun 01, 2003 3:17 pm ----------------------------------- i need it to go past 6 letters... i assume that no1 ever goes past like maybe 12 letters ----------------------------------- beedub Sun Jun 01, 2003 3:19 pm ----------------------------------- it also just needs to be used symbols like numbers quotations and letters (doesnt mater whether it is caps)... ----------------------------------- Andy Sun Jun 01, 2003 3:38 pm ----------------------------------- umm, you do realize that there are exactly 227,390,317,427,037,786,292,224 possible combinations of passwords for hotmail:7-15 characters 36^7+36^8+36^9+36^10+36^11+36^12+36^13+36^14+36^15 o and for your question, you could have a string with all the characters in it and just randomly select one out of there characters:="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz10234567890" put characters(Rand.Int(1,36)) ----------------------------------- PaddyLong Sun Jun 01, 2003 7:36 pm ----------------------------------- hehe I actually wrote a program that was to create a dictionary file of all the combinations of the characters in a set string and of set lengths... I tried running it once for I think like alphanumeric characters and combinations 1-5 characters long... lol o my did that file get large quick and the program take for ever to run :P ----------------------------------- Prince Mon Jun 02, 2003 10:04 am ----------------------------------- holy shit thats alotta combinations :shock:
