Here is the JScript version of this script:

function GetRandomString(len)
{
var index, str, startChr;
var range = 26;

str = "";
for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
startChr = (Math.random() < 0.5 ? "a" : "A");
str += String.fromCharCode(startChr.charCodeAt(0) + Math.random() * range);
}
return str;
}

Hi there, Tips.
On a related note, there's a routine for creating a Counter String (a self-documenting string of a specified length) in my String Utilities Plug-in (http://www.automatedqa.com/community/Home/Articles/tabid/38/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/272/Realworld-TestComplete-Plugins-Part-I.aspx). However the counter string is more applicable to length, where as yours is good for primarily alpha characters. Good stuff. I should add it to the next version of the string utils plug-in.

*David - nice elegant variation to use upper/lower case with a small change. I don't thing vbscript has an equivalent.

*Robert - very cool. I'd love to read some short tips on that plug-in. These tips aren't really meant to break new ground, you've probably done all this many times before. I just want to create some nice short examples to help people get started or find a quick answer.

any chance i can get this in Delphi.

Cheers
