Re: replace %rand[x]-[y]% macro in string with random string

Hello Daniel, Tuesday, December 2, 2003, 10:46:33 PM, you wrote: dh> For generation of a random string with length 1.000.000 it takes about dh> 13 seconds on my xp 1600+.. that's quite a lot, imho, so suggestions dh> are very welcome.. Just so we're clear on this - you're creating a string (an email address) of a million characters? I don't know my mail RFC's that well, but I'm sure this is well beyond what it considers "standard". Does the string HAVE to make sense? I mean does a spambot really care less, or can even detect, what the email address contains? Surely just creating a truly random string would suffice (and indeed remove the need for the rather elaborate function you posted). I fully accept I might be missing the whole point here :) -- Best regards, Richard mailto:rich@launchcode.co.uk
