I’m currently generating an 8-character pseudo-random uppercase string for “A” .. “Z”:
value = ""; 8.times{value << (65 + rand(25)).chr}
but it doesn’t look clean, and it can’t be passed as an argument since it isn’t a single statement. To get a mixed-case string “a” .. “z” plus “A” .. “Z”, I changed it to:
value = ""; 8.times{value << ((rand(2)==1?65:97) + rand(25)).chr}
but it looks like trash.
Does anyone have a better method?
