Generate Random String

Use this utility to generate random strings

Prerequisites

Linx Designer 6.4.3 or higher

Setup

1. Download the repo
2. Open the GeneratingRandomString.solution file in the repository Linx6 folder

Usage

1. Debug the GenerateRandomString function
2. Define values for the input parameters
   1. Length (String)
   2. AllowUpperCase (Boolean)
   3. AllowLowerCase (Boolean)
   4. AllowSpecialCharacters (Boolean)
   5. AllowNumbers (Boolean)
3. Start the debugger

Explanation

1. A string of all allowed characters is created.
2. The Cryptography plugin (GenerateRandom) is used to generate a random byte.
3. The byte identifies the location of one character in the string of allowed characters.
4. Each identified character is appended to the end of the return string.
5. The process is repeated until the length of the return string matches the desired length.
