Vb6 How do I make a Random String of 0-9 and a-z of x characters

Question

Trying to create a random string, x characters in length using 0-9 and a-z/A-Z and can\'t seem to find a good example, any ideas?

Answer 1

I forgot all my VB6 (thank God) but in pseudocode it's pretty easy:

    all_chars = an array of all the valid chars
    seed random number generator
    for i = 1 to x do
        random_index = get a random number between 1 and length of all_chars
        'I remember how to concat and comment in VB6 :-)
        string = string & all_chars[random_index] 
    end for

    done!

So it's just a matter of finding out how to create an array and fill it with characters, how to get the length of the array and how to get a random number between the first and last indexes of said array.

Well, all that and looping of course.
