randomletter(
CASE

The randomletter( function returns a random letter.

Parameters

This function has one parameter:

case – determines the case of the randomly generated character. If this option is `"l"` or `"L"` then the letter will be lower case (between a and z). if the option is `"u"` or `"U"` then the letter will be upper case (between A and Z). if the option is any other value, then the result may be either upper or lower case.

Description

This function returns a random letter. Each time you use it a new random letter will be returned.

    randomletter("x") ☞ D
    randomletter("x") ☞ o
    randomletter("x") ☞ W
    randomletter("x") ☞ b
    randomletter("x") ☞ u

If you want all upper case letters, set the option to `"U"`.

    randomletter("U") ☞ D
    randomletter("U") ☞ S
    randomletter("U") ☞ K
    randomletter("U") ☞ B

    randomletter("L") ☞ m

Note: This function is equivalent to:

    ?(upper(option)="U",chr(int(65+26*rnd())),?(upper(option)="L",chr(int(97+26*rnd())),
                   ?(int(1+2*rnd())=1,chr(int(65+26*rnd())),chr(int(97+26*rnd())))))
