This function is generating strings :
I don't know f it works, but trying is the best way to learn :P/>
function stringGen(lenght)
parts = {"a", "b", "c", "d"} --you can add more
function genNumb()
return math.random(1, #parts)
end
output = {}
for u = 1, lenght do
table.insert(output, parts[genNumb()])
end
return table.concat(output)
end
I don't know f it works, but trying is the best way to learn :P/>

local function generate(len)
local str=""
for i=1,tonumber(len) or 1 do
str=str..string.char(math.random(33, 126))
end
return str
end
