Random Strings

The device can generate random strings in header manipulation rules that may be substituted where the type ‘String’ is required. The random string can include up to 298 characters and include a range of, for example, from a to z or 1 to 10. This string is used in the table's 'Action Value' field.

The syntax for using random strings is:

Rand.string.<number of characters in string>.<low character>.<high character>

Examples:

■

Rand.string.5.a.z:  This generates a 5-character string using characters a through z.

■

Rand.string.8.0.z: This generates an 8-character string using characters and digits.
