Help with random texts

Trying to test my GUI skills, since I haven't for a LONG time.
So I have a confirmation code that is supposed to come out random from 3 sets of letters/numbers. I have all of those as this.beg, this.mid, this.end and I set up the temp.confCode as follows

PHP Code:


		
			
temp.confCode = int(random(this.beg, 11)) @ int(random(this.mid, 9)) @ int(random(this.end, 11));

When I go on player and try to use it, the GUI comes up and everything's fine, but it's coming out as numbers.
One example is "035"
How can I get it to display as TEXT?

And on a side note:
How do I set text to save as a log/*.txt file from a serverside script?

If I remember correctly, random(start, end) will only return a random number within [start, end)

It's a bit different to generate a random character. Here's one way to generate a random upper-case letter:

PHP Code:


		
			
char(int(random(65, 91)));

You can look at an ascii table to see where I get the 65 and 91 from. You could also look at an ascii table to get the ranges for lower-case letters.

Or, you could predefine an array of all the characters you want to include in your random strings, then use randomstring().
Example:

PHP Code:


		
			
temp.chars = {"A", "B", "C", "D", "a", 1, 2, 3};  //Put all characters in here.
temp.confCode = randomstring(temp.chars) @ randomstring(temp.chars) @ randomstring(temp.chars);

And, to save as a log/*.txt file you can use savelog2
Example:

PHP Code:


		
			
savelog2("snaps.txt", "The boy bought the basketball");

Ah, thanks a lot :D
++rep if i could. gotta spread :(

edit: I did temp.confCode=randomString(this.beg) etc., and it didn't work.
It shows up as blank in the GUI.

What is in this.beg?

randomstring() takes in an array of strings and outputs a random element.

PHP Code:


		
			
  this.beg = { "iA", "Pq", "oa", "cQ", "Vu", "zC", "Gd", "jE",

    "aT", "fg", "io", "mv" };

  this.mid = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 };

  this.end = { "io", "vb", "cH", "pA", "oA", "oa", "ua", "Ac",

    "iA", "Co", "Op", "In" };

That's all the arrays I'm using.

Edit:
Found the problem!
Had to use thiso.confCode inside of the GuiMLTextCtrl, and put the randomize setter outside of the GUI.

just so its out there, you can also savelog2 folder types [always give the NPC server additional rights though!]

savelog2("items/hugeasslog.txt", "wurr");
savelog2("staff/xAndrewx", "hot damn");

etc
