Hey Guys after analysing the multitude of responses I finally went with the shortest code! It works perfect & fast, thats all I needed repeat until the number of items in tRnum = 5 set randomSeed to random(1) put random(10) into tRand if tRand is not among the items of tRnum then put tRa

If you are asking the random of a big number then that will be true. I think I remember that to generate a list of random numbers what you should be doing is asking questions like random(N) random(N-1) . . . 1 If you wanted to generate a random list with the numbers 1 thru 10 random(10) -> 3 Now

Dwayne, I'm sure there's a better way to do it, but how about this... function makeRandomNumberList maxNumber put 0 into i repeat put random(10) into thisNum if thisNum is among the items of fNumbers then next repeat end if add 1 to i put thisNum into item i of fNumb

Hi Dwayne, put GenerateRandom(6,10) -- the right parameters in your case function GenerateRandom pHowMuchNumbers,pRange local tRangeList - repeat until the number of lines of tRangeList = pHowMuchNumbers set the randomSeed to random(10) put random(pRange) into pNum if pNum
