you could try this archaic bit of code written for CF4.5, but should still
work:)
<cfset rString = "">
<!--- helps with proper randomizing:) --->
<cfset temp = Randomize("#day(now())##minute(now())##second(now())#")>
<cfset alpha = "a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z">
<cfloop from="1" to="15" index="ii">
<cfset variableuse = randrange(1,2)>
<cfif variableuse eq 1>
<cfset rString = listappend(rString, listgetat(alpha, randrange(1,26)))>
<cfelse>
<cfset rString = listappend(rString, randrange(0, 9))>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
<cfset rString = replace(rString, ",", "", "ALL")>
<cfoutput>#rString#</cfoutput>
