Demonstrates how to generate random passwords. VBScript

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

success = 0

' This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

success = 0

set fortuna = CreateObject("Chilkat.Prng")

' Set this equal to 1 if the generated password must include at least one digit (0-9)
bDigit = 1

' Set this equal to 1 if the generated password must include both uppercase and lowercase chars.
bUpperAndLower = 1

' The generated password must contain one of the following non-alphanumeric chars.
otherChars = "@#$%*"

' Exclude chars that appear similar to others:
excludeChars = "iIlLoO0"

' Generate 8-character passwords:

For i = 1 To 10
    outFile.WriteLine(fortuna.RandomPassword(8,bDigit,bUpperAndLower,otherChars,excludeChars))
Next

outFile.Close
