Real quick here. I needed to generate a random string for auto generated passwords. So I was thinking that I was going to have to write some stupid block of code to randomly select characters out of an array.
However, I stumbled upon org.apache.commons.lang.RandomStringUtils.
Then there was this rad method there: RandomStringUtils.random(int len, String chars)
example:
RandomStringUtils.random(8, "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890");
Exactly what I needed! Thanks Apache Commons for being so RAD!
Go write some code!
