generating random text characters?

Hi, what's the fastest way to generate random characters (letters but, additionally, also special characters) to be used as text? Thanks

@Xeronimo74 -- Probably generate a random int, then convert it to a character with "char()" -- but you should benchmark it.

Not sure precisely what you mean by "special characters", but 'char' is a 16bit data type that encodes Unicode, so you'll want to generate random numbers in the range(s) of characters that you want.

Ok, that works, thanks
