Basic Examples (3) 

Create a random string of length 8:

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

Create multiple random strings simultaneously:

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

Randomly choose from a set of characters:

In[3]:=

Out[3]=

Scope (6) 

Randomly choose from a set of characters using weights:

In[4]:=

Out[4]=

Use an alphabet entity:

In[5]:=

Out[5]=

Use a language entity:

In[6]:=

Out[6]=

Use a preset of characters:

In[7]:=

Out[7]=

Generate an array of strings of length 4:

In[8]:=

Out[8]=

The dimensions of the output are Most[dimensions]:

In[9]:=

Out[9]=

Arbitrary characters can be used:

In[10]:=

Out[10]=

Applications (3) 

Create a random password:

In[11]:=

Out[11]=

Create a random password excluding commonly mistyped characters (0, o and O, etc.):

In[12]:=

Out[12]=

Create a random bogus sentence:

In[13]:=

Out[13]=

Properties and Relations (1) 

Alphabet or language entities can be given:

In[14]:=

Out[14]=

In[15]:=

Out[15]=

Possible Issues (3) 

Some languages have multicharacter letters in their alphabet, such that the supplied length might differ from the result:

In[16]:=

Out[16]=

If the input contains multicharacter letters, the length might be different than expected:

In[17]:=

Out[17]=

RandomString by default uses $Language to determine the alphabet. One can temporarily override it:

In[18]:=

Out[18]=
