Hi Ankesh,

Thanks for your time and reply to the post.
Alphabet will be changing as well. I would like to select from an array of 10 alphabets.

Regards.

Hi QTPmate,

Its simple.You can do it in a couple of ways.I am just presenting the logic.

For alphabets you would be getting it from Array so no problem for that.

For numbers what you can do is , you can use vbscript "Time" function which would return 3:26:54 , which you can split using ":" as delimiter , get it in array , then append array(0) , array(1) , which would give you a random number.

Here is the code which you can change accordingly

Code:
str_randomno=Time
Dim aftersplitting
aftersplitting=split(str_randomno,":")
print aftersplitting(0)&aftersplitting(1)&left(aftersplitting(2),2)

Thanks,
Gangadhar
