batch-file Random In Batch Files Random Alphabets
Example
Unfortunately, batch does not have a built-in method to generate alphabets, but using %random% and for loop, we can 'generate' alphabets.
This is a simple idea of how this works.
set /a result=(%random%*26/32768)+1
for /f "tokens=%result%" %%I in ("A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z") do (
echo %%I
)
- The first
set /astatement generate a random numberNbetween 1 to 26 - The
for /fstatement picks theNth item from a list of A to Z.- Return the result
One can put a total 31 items in 1 for loop, and practically unlimited items using [this method].(Batch - for loop parameter order
