Can sombody please tell me how to make @myarray (in the codesample below) contain chars a-z, and 1-9 without actually typing them? (like with some cool tr//something? ###################################### @myarray=("a","b","c"); srand; while($i<8) { $index=rand(@myarray); $mysamplepass="$mysamplepass"."@myarray[$index]"; $i=$i+1; } print $mysamplepass; ######################################
