Random code gererator

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Hi,

I would like to generate a list of random codes (actually, I will replace 6 digits picture file name) with an Applescript app.

I’m looking at 6 digits with letters (first) and numbers (last) with a thousand results (1000 results)

Something like ABH561 or GHQ816 or KNE801

The result would be an open text file.

Any chance this could be easy to create ?

Many thanks !!

I’m unclear -

Do you want it randomized or from a preset list of 1000?

and out of curiousity, and as a photographer myself, why would you want it to be random?

Hi hsaphoto,

How about this code?


set randomfilenames to {}

set alphabet to {"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"}

repeat
	set charone to some item of alphabet
	set chartwo to some item of alphabet
	set charthree to some item of alphabet
	set num to random number from 100 to 999
	
	set randomfilename to (charone & chartwo & charthree & num) as Unicode text
	if randomfilename is not in randomfilenames then
		set randomfilenames to randomfilenames & randomfilename
	end if
	if length of randomfilenames is equal to 1000 then
		exit repeat
	end if
end repeat

return randomfilenames
