我根据Nathan Koop的函数进行了改进以满足自己的需求,并想与大家分享。
我添加了以下内容:
- 能够在随机字符串中添加前缀和后缀文本
- 能够选择允许字符(字母)的大小写形式
- 能够选择是否包含/排除数字作为允许字符
注意:如果严格要求生成的字符串长度与添加的前缀/后缀文本长度相等,则需要处理;我没有包含任何处理逻辑。
示例用法:
' Straight call for a random string of 20 characters
' All Caps + Numbers
String_Random(20, 20, String.Empty, String.Empty, 1, True)
' Call for a 30 char string with prepended string
' Lowercase, no numbers
String_Random(30, 30, "Hey_Now_", String.Empty, 2, False)
' Call for a 15 char string with appended string
' Case insensitive + Numbers
String_Random(15, 15, String.Empty, "_howdy", 3, True)
.
Public Function String_Random(
intMinLength As Integer,
intMaxLength As Integer,
strPrepend As String,
strAppend As String,
intCase As Integer,
bIncludeDigits As Boolean) As String
' Allowed characters variable
Dim s As String = String.Empty
' Set the variable to user's choice of allowed characters
Select Case intCase
Case 1
' Uppercase
s = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
Case 2
' Lowercase
s = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
Case Else
' Case Insensitive + Numbers
s = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
End Select
' Add numbers to the allowed characters if user chose so
If bIncludeDigits = True Then s &= "0123456789"
Static r As New Random
Dim chactersInString As Integer = r.Next(intMinLength, intMaxLength)
Dim sb As New StringBuilder
' Add the prepend string if one was passed
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(strPrepend) = False Then sb.Append(strPrepend)
For i As Integer = 1 To chactersInString
Dim idx As Integer = r.Next(0, s.Length)
sb.Append(s.Substring(idx, 1))
Next
' Add the append string if one was passed
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(strAppend) = False Then sb.Append(strAppend)
Return sb.ToString()
End Function
