randomstring2

randomstring2(source, limit, repeat); - returns a random string with the length of limit, derived from character in the source array, repeating characters if set to true.
- source: an array of single characters
- limit: a positive number, indicating the size of random string output
- repeat: boolean, indicating whether or not to repeat characters
PHP Code:
function randomstring2(sourcelimitrepeat) {
  if(
temp.limit == null) {
    
temp.limit temp.source.size();
  }
  if(
temp.limit temp.source.size()) {
    
temp.limit temp.source.size();
  }
  while(
temp.temp.limit) {
    
temp.trial temp.source[random(0temp.source.size())];
    if(
temp.repeat) {
      
temp.output @= temp.trial;
      
temp.i++;
    }
    else {
      if(
temp.output.pos(temp.trial) < 0) {
        
temp.output @= temp.trial;
        
temp.i++;
      }
    }
  }
  return 
temp.output;

All possible source characters:
PHP Code:
  temp.source = {
    
"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""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""0""1""2""3",
    
"4""5""6""7""8""9""!""@",
    
"#""$""%""^""&""*""("")",
    
"[""]"";"":""'""<"">"".",
    
",""?""/""-""_""=""+""|"
  
}; 
Example:
PHP Code:
function onCreated() {
  
temp.source = {
    
"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""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""0""1""2""3",
    
"4""5""6""7""8""9""!""@",
    
"#""$""%""^""&""*""("")",
    
"[""]"";"":""'""<"">"".",
    
",""?""/""-""_""=""+""|"
  
};
  echo(
randomstring2(temp.source10true));
  echo(
randomstring2(temp.source10false));

Outputs:
