Subject: RE: Random Password

I wrote a custom tag that does this:

<CF_RANDOMSTRING LENGTH = "12" CHARSTART = "1" CHAREND = "z" OUTPUTVARIABLE="myString">

generates a pseudo random string of specified length containing only characters found between the ascii values of CHARSTART and CHAREND

<CFSCRIPT> result = "";

for(i=1;i LT Attributes.Length;i=i+1){ result = result & Chr(RandRange(Asc(Attributes.CharStart),Asc(Attributes.CharEnd))); }

SetVariable("Caller.#Attributes.OutputVar#",result); </CFSCRIPT>

Here's one I got off this list a while ago. Props to whoever wrote it, because its helped me out a few times.

<cfscript> random_word = Mid("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", RandRange(1,26), 1); random_word = random_word & Mid("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", RandRange(1,26), 1); random_word = random_word & Mid("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", RandRange(1,26), 1); random_word = random_word & Mid("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", RandRange(1,26), 1); random_word = random_word & Mid("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", RandRange(1,26), 1); random_word = random_word & Mid("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", RandRange(1,26), 1); random_word = random_word & Mid("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", RandRange(1,26), 1);

password = "#random_word##RandRange(1000,9999)#"; </cfscript>

<cfoutput>PASSWORD: <b>#password#</b></cfoutput>

it will generate a password with 7 random letter and a 4 digit number.

All-

Sorry I am pressed for time today, but does any one have script for generating random passwords?
