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.

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

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

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

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.

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?

he is trying to make a hacking progamer Twisted Evil , lol

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))

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 Razz
