random letters

[beedub]

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]

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

code:

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]

then how would i incorporate ints or other chars into that?

[beedub]

also after it is done every possible pattern of lettering... i want it to stop... how do i do that?

[Tony]

you generate a random integer, take it as ASCII value and print character based on that

code:

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]

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]

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]

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?

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 , 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.

[beedub]

yes i am... lol

[beedub]

i need it to go past 6 letters... i assume that no1 ever goes past like maybe 12 letters

[beedub]

it also just needs to be used symbols like numbers quotations and letters (doesnt mater whether it is caps)...

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

code:

characters:="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz10234567890" put characters(Rand.Int(1,36))

[PaddyLong]

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

[Prince]

holy shit thats alotta combinations
