How Random Are Random Strings

[ColinJD]

I have creating Random Keys using The Automation Anywhere Random Variable feature, However I have found the keys are becoming repeated on intervals.
The Keys are 8 Characters long,
A work around is to check whether a key exists before permanently assigning it.
Is there a randomiser Seed for Automation Anywhere ?

Hello,

Create VB script that would generate the random numbers between the given range. In script, use the Randomize statement without an argument to initialize the random-number generator with a seed based on the system timer. We have attached a sample script that would generate random numbers between 0-99.

You can call this VB script using 'Run Script' command. The result returned from the script can be assigned to Automation Anywhere variable.

To run attached task,

. Please copy .atmn file under location, 'C:\...\My Documents\Automation Anywhere\Automation Anywhere\My Tasks' folder.
. Copy .vbs under C:\.

Hope that helps.
