Hay once more
well l have searched ur database and found one thing that is wat l want but there happens to be a problem l don’t have appleworks 6 (l think that was the program)
well basiclly l kinda want a script that spits out 100 random numbers onto a word or other mac osx program as both of my parents are teachers(l’m 14) and they would very much like something that would do that for them
thanx in advance

Model: Mac osx 10.4 G4
AppleScript: 1.10? or version 2.1(80)?
Browser: Safari 412
Operating System: Mac OS X (10.4)
hey, we have something in common (parents = teachers) …
here’s an attempt to solve the job - you can easily modify the the generated list with altering the options of makeRandomNumbersString:
1st option: length of the number list
2nd option: maximum value of the generated numbers
3rd option: delimiter to be used to separate the numbers in the list.
the result is a list of random numbers as string in the pasteboard - you can simply hit paste in any application after running the script.
Hope that helps …

do shell script ("echo " & (quoted form of (my makeRandomNumbersString(100, 50, ", "))) & " | pbcopy")
on makeRandomNumbersString(arraySize, numberMax, numberDelimiter)
set rndArray to {}
repeat with n from 1 to arraySize
set rndArray to rndArray & ((random number (numberMax) as integer) as string)
end repeat
set {olddelims, text item delimiters} to {text item delimiters, numberDelimiter}
set retVal to rndArray as string
set text item delimiters to olddelims
return retVal
end makeRandomNumbersString
um…yea l trued that script u made and well nothing happened
…am l missing something?
l’m pretty new to scripting but l do know the basics but l can read it and l learn fast
yea l got it if u can down load the mulisheet 2.1 l think …its a program that is wat l was talking about in my last post and well look @ it and try to modify it for me plz
l had a try and got no where so yea
look for 100 math
in… um…wheres the place…l think it is scripted something or other…l forget u could try searching for it on the site via other ways though…um well yea good luck

u deserve a medal if u understand wat l just wrote
Sure you read what I wrote above? The result of the script is in the pasteboard - until you haven’t entered a ‘paste’ command somewhere nothing happens …
Ok - but if you want to have it automatically pasted in an other application - here’s an example for TextEdit:
set randList to my makeRandomNumbersString(100, 50, ", ")
tell application "TextEdit"
make new document
set text of document 1 to randList
end tell
on makeRandomNumbersString(arraySize, numberMax, numberDelimiter)
set rndArray to {}
repeat with n from 1 to arraySize
set rndArray to rndArray & ((random number (numberMax) as integer) as string)
end repeat
set {olddelims, text item delimiters} to {text item delimiters, numberDelimiter}
set retVal to rndArray as string
set text item delimiters to olddelims
return retVal
end makeRandomNumbersString
--Make empty string.
set myList to ""
--repeat 100 times
repeat with x from 1 to 100
--Add a a random number and return to the text.
set myList to myList & (random number) & return
end repeat
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
--Make new window in TextEdit.
set myWindow to make new document
-- Name it.
set name of front window to "Random Numbers"
--Add the text.
set text of myWindow to myList
end tell
Dominik and kel and john m
l tryed ur scripts and they work but l don’t think u understand wats l’m asking…
yes ur spits out random number but the kids are in yr 3-4 not 12
there seposed to be times tables …
yea so basiclly
l need tha scripts u guys wrote to make a number between 1 - 12 x another random number between 1- 12
and if it’s possible can they be in 2 lines down the one page
thanx
but ur scripts did work so good job

set numList to {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}
set theMult to ""
repeat 50 times
set theMult to theMult & (((((some item in numList) as string) & " x " & (some item in numList) as string) & " = ") & return & return)
end repeat
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
set myWindow to make new document
set name of front window to "Random Numbers"
set text of myWindow to theMult
end tell
yea we gotta be posting @ tha same time
l changed ur script a little just two 100 problems and no ? at the end
and yea l kinda want that so it fits on one page
thanx

thats a very intellegent way of putting “l carn’t type fast!”
