random-string

Obtain a random string.

random-string to [ define ] <random string> [ length <string length> ] [ number ]

random-string obtains random string of length <string length>. If "length" clause is omitted, the length is 20 by default. You can create <random string> with "define" clause. If "number" clause is used, then the resulting string is composed of digits only ("0" through "9"), otherwise alphabet letters ("a"-"z" and "A"-"Z") are used as well.

Random generator seed is based on current time and process ID.
