Generating A Random Code Which Is Not In Database
I am trying to write a script that generate random code which are not in database.
Things are ok on these points:
1. Generating a random code
2. Controlling whether it is in database.
For now, if the code is in database, it gives a message.
What I want the funstion do is to generate a code which is not in db?
How can id do this?
I write the code as reference.....

How do you go about generating a number based on the current date and time? I want to generate a number to be used as a confirmation number to an email. My site does
not connect to a database or anything just pure asp with an email form.
Random Number Not Random
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?

x = ROUND((0.9+1.005*RND()-0.4),1)
y = INT(y * x)
This is what I'm trying to acheive:
- "Y" has a preset value between 1-100
- "X" should be random between 0.8 and 1.2
- "X * Y" is the final value of "Y" as a whole number
What I'm struggling with is getting the value of X to be random between 0.8 and 1.2....

I need to create a random number, or even better, and random combination of letters and numbers, to be used as a type of security key for changing a user's password on this site i'm working on. Basically, the user fills out this form which sends them and e-mail w/ instructions on how to change their password (pretty basic, lots of sites do it).
In the e-mail of course is a link which links to a page with querystring values that include their customer number, the action (reset password), and hopefully this "key." What I'd like to do is have the key written to a database when the e-mail is sent and then deleted when the password is changed. So, how can I generate this key. I think I can take care of the writing to/deleting from the database.
Random Number Problem
I'm trying to create a random number that has to solid letters at the beginning followed by 8 random numbers (DN13523781) This number also can't be in use alreaddy which means it can't alreaddy be in a colum called number in the database.
I can do the letters followed by one number, but I can't figure out how to get 8 numbers in a row without getting the same ones over and over(88888888)
I also don't know how to check if it's alreaddy used in the database.
Also does someone know how I can prevent the same number from being produced before it can be added to the database at an other location/pc.

Assign A Random Number
I have this simple application that I put together using ASP. It has an html form that submits to an access database through a simple ASP file. It’s a survey form basically. One of the departments here wants to get some feedback from their students and in return for filling out the survey they will be entered into a drawing for a gift certificate. The catch is that the survey is anonymous. What they want to happen is each person is given a unique number at the end of the survey and they will pick one of those numbers randomly to see who the winner is. How can I possibly do this? I am stuck.
I think I may know what I need to do:
Pull a unique number from a database and post it onto the HTML form near the submit button. Notate on the page that the user write the number down and when they hit submit it is inserted into the database along with the record. I have absolutely no idea how to do that.
The HTML form submits into the database using this "add.asp" file:

View Replies View RelatedRandom GUID Type Number Or RegExp
I have used:
set typ = server.createobject("Scriptlet.TypeLib")
to create a random string of 36 characters. However, is there a way to
create a random string of digits in the length I request? Perhaps a string
of 20 digits with a few asterisks thrown in for ease of typing?
for example:

Would this be reated with RegExp? And how?
Test A Random Number For Nearby Numbers
not after code, just thoughts, suppose i'm generating a random 8-digit pin number for our clients, first i'll be checking against the db to see if it already exists before assigning it. what i might do for that is getstring all of the exsiting pins at the top of the script and just keep performing an instr until i get a 0. (i dont expect to ever go above a thousand clients for this system and hopefully my initial number will be random enough that these checks are for backup/redundancy assertion anyway)
but anyway, the main problem is: i dont want to generate a random pin that is one (or maybe two) digit(s) different from another,. i.e.
11111111 is too close to 14115111 and much too close to 11111811. 11121111 is right out of the question as it can be entered as a typo, as is 11111411 because of the numpad
so i'm after thoughts on how to perform that check, i suppose if i went with the "big string of all pins that went before" check i could perform a number of regex searches on the string. i.e.
my pin is 12345678 and i dont want ony to be one digit different so i'd check the string against .2345678 1.345678 12.45678 and so on. think i just answered my own question, anyone else got any ideas? especially for the two digit case (dont want to be performing 36 regex checks do i!)
How Do I Make Random Images Not Random?
However, 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
%>

<a href="<%= link(random) %>">

Random Token Generator - Not Really Random
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:

Possible To Generating Thumbs?
I've been surfing the web and this forum for methods to upload images through a form in a browser. I've come up with a few results, e.g. Dundas free upload component.
Besides that I've got the free product from ServerObjects.com to check the ImageSize and found some other non-component method to check the Image dimensions at: LearnASP.com.
Users should be enabled to upload a thumb for their profile. Since I can't expect each user to be a computer literate they might upload an image which is a bit too big. Are their free methods with ASP to reduce those images in size? I'm simply using ASP here with IIS. For now I can only give them an error stating that their image is too big.
A second matter might be a photogallery where there's bigger images and thumbnails. Right now I'm using Irfanview/Ifranview to quickly make thumbs for each regular image. Like with the example above it would be ideal if this can be automized as well, since users should be enabled to put up some small photogallery as well.
I know there's some fancy expensive methods to achieve this, but usually they offer loads more and all I need is something to crop or resize (resizing is best).
Generating Images
I'm looking for a code or a component that will enable me to generate images on the fly, through my ASP code.
For example:
Retrieve some textual data from a database and make an image out of it.
OR
Combine text and an existing image into one new image.
OR
Read an HTML file that contains text and image and generate an image from it.
I've found programs that do it (like ABC Amber Text2Image Converter), but I fail to make it work through a code and not through a software console.
Generating CSV Reports
I have been asked to produce reports which will be triggered and generated automatically via scheduled tasks against data in SQL SERVER.
The reports will be generated as CSV's to provide compatibility with Excel.
The reports will then e-mailed as attatchments to an agreed list of recipients.
This all has to be done with the use of ASP and SQL Server.
Can anyone advise on how the prolem should be approached?
