I'm trying to generate three random different numbers to display three images on a page without repeating them. I can't seem to be able to get them to always be different. There's probably some simple solution, but I can't figure it out.
Here's my current code: ....
I want to display a random banner from a selection of 5 banners. So if number = 1 then display baner 1 etc. My code is as follows:
bannerCount = bannerRecordSet.RecordCount
Dim bannerSelected
Randomize
bannerSelected = Int(Rnd * bannerCount)
The above code works although it never seems to generate the value 1, ie 2-5. Also when I refresh the page sometimes a random banner is displayed and other times I get an error. Is this because I am generating a value outside 1-5? Code:
I need to be able to create some license keys for an application. Ideally
these wouldn't be too long in length (ie, easier to remember/type in), but I
would like them to be auto generated and a check made to see whether or not
that key has already been used, something which could generate up to about
10000 keys (or more if the string doesnt have to be too long) would be very
useful.
A combination of letters, numbers, upper and lower case is needed.
I could sit here and start plugging away at this, an array for numbers, an
array for letters, a random test for uppercase/lowercase etc, but it occured
to me that I'm probably just reinventing the wheel a bit here, someone must
have done this before!
Has anyone produced anything similar to this in the past?
I am trying to create a random value between 10 and 1,000,000. I am using the following code but it is creating numbers between 10,000 and 999,999. How can I fix it.
<%
Highest=1000000
Lowest=10
Randomize
Val_Rand=CStr(CLng((Highest-Lowest+1)*Rnd+Lowest))
response.write(val_rand)
%>
The code never gives small numbers like 10, 15 500, 250, 257 etc.

View Replies View RelatedHowever, what I want to do is include a request.querystring("ID"), so that IF an ID is defined, eg ID=3, , it will display the relevant (not random) information. I've tried this every way I can think and get type mismatches, etc etc. It's probably really simple but I can't see it.
<%
limit=3
redim link(limit)
redim image (limit)
link(1)="xxx"
image(1)="image1.jpg"
link(2)="xxx"
image(2)="image2.jpg"
link(3)="xxx"
image(3)="image3.jpg"
randomize
random=int(rnd*limit)+1

I just wanted to know whats the best way to generate 50 or say X amount of number at random without having to repeat any of the previous number...
so far I've the following:
[VBS]<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<%
function RandomNumber()
dim theRandom
Randomize
'RandomNumber = Int((upperbound - lowerbound + 1) * Rnd + lowerbound)
theRandom= Int((99 - (0) + 1) * Rnd + (0))
if (theRandom<10) then theRandom = "0" & theRandom
RandomNumber = theRandom
end function
%>[/VBS]
and then I've this in the body of HTML doc: Code:
We have the need to have a random token (a 16 char alphanumeric field) to be used as the key for one of our SQL tables. I have created a random token generator, however after only 3 months in production, it appears that we had an instance where a token that already existed in the tables was created. There are 3810 records currently in the database so it isn't like there are billions of records there.
I contacted an old college buddy of mine who is a mathematician, and he claims, assuming that random really does mean random, that the chances of getting a duplicate token are 1 in 79.5 septillion (79,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000).
So my conclusion is that this was either a complete freak of nature occurance, or my random generator isn't really all that random. Here is the code behind how I am generating this: Code:
I am trying to generate a random number. I am using randomize and then rnd to return a decimal number between 100 and 120. This will give me a longitude. I am doing something similar to generate a latitude.
I created this on a page which refreshs every minute. I put these points into a map and they are showing up in groups of straight lines. Since rnd is time based will refreshing every 60 seconds return similar numbers?
how I generate a new XML file that I can then use with an XSLT file. I am trying to use an XML file generated from Microsoft Project or even better generate an XML file from the project file (MPP File) itself. Which I can then use with an XSLT file

I've been trying to Google this but have been getting far too many hits to be of use. Is there a slick way to generate a CSV or other Excel-friendly format and push it to the client? I'm using VBScript (and HTML and other typical stuff of course) on the ASP pages (no .NET stuff). Just a shove in the right direction is all I really need here.

View Replies View RelatedI noticed that PHP have the ability to create PDF files without using any third partty componentys. Most notably is via FPDF. It generates PDF by using "pdf markups" / or ghostscripts .
I believe the same can be done via ASP too. One has to use response.write pdf headers. Has anyone succeeded in doing that? I have the intention to go thru PHP's FPDF and try to convert that to VBScript.

I am using the code below to create an excel document from data that is returned from an sql query. The formatting of the excel document is pretty and all is good unless I hit the back button and run my query a second time, or a third time (I haven't made it past 3

Another problem is that when I run the query it just opens excel within my browser, is there any way to make it ask if you want to save or open the file?
