- RAND 2.0
- Copyright 1991-1993 Chuck Steenburgh & Tay-Jee Software
-
- RAND provides simple random number generating capabilities
- for batch files. RAND returns a random number in the form of
- the DOS errorlevel, which you can then evaluate in your batch
- files.
-
- Usage: RAND [max value] | [/f]
-
- max value Upper limit of random number range.
- RAND will generate an errorlevel
- between 1 and this number. The de-
- fault is 100. The maximum is 255.
-
- /f Rand will generate a unique file name |
- and display it. This name can be re- |
- directed via DOS as input to another |
- command or program. |
-
- Examples:
-
- RAND Generates a random errorlevel be-
- tween 1-100.
-
- RAND 10 Generates a random errorlevel be-
- tween 1-10.
-
- RAND /F Generates a unique file name |
-
- If the max value specified is greater than 255 or less than
- 1, RAND sets the errorlevel to 0.
