generating random strings of letters?

[cirthix]

I'd like to generate 60 and 100 (two sets of strings). Anyone know of an online generator for letters, similar to http://www.random.org/ ?

3 letters in length, no duplicates preferred.

you could write your own in C++/Java but it would be sudo random.

ah, decided to go not-so-random hehe. I just typed sentences without spaces and hit enter every three letters. the grader might get a kick out of it (just data showing that a program works) 😛

function newRandom($len) {
$var = "";
$key = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
$i = 0;
while ($i < $len) {
$char = substr($key, mt_rand(0, strlen($key)-1), 1);
if (!strstr($var, $char)) {
$var.= $char;
$i++;
}
}
return $var;
}

for($i=0; $i<60; $i++) {
print newRandom(3).'<br />';
}

Variation on a random password generator I use. This will run 60 random combinations of 3 letter length and simple modification will run 100 or any number you want.

I would just whip something up in excel.
