Using the dynamic variable %Random%, we can get a random integer from 0 to 32767. For example: echo %random% This obviously, returns an integer from 0 to 32767. But sometimes we want it to be in a specific range, say from 1 to 100. Generating Random Numbers Within Specific Range The basic me...

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...

Pseudorandom Distribution Accorinding to this Stack Overflow answer, user CherryDT pointed out this code: set /a num=%random% %% 100 does not give a uniform distribution. The internal dynamic variable %random% does gives a uniform distribution, but the above code will not be a uniformed random...
