Demonstrates how to generate random passwords. Visual FoxPro

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loFortuna
LOCAL lnBDigit
LOCAL lnBUpperAndLower
LOCAL lcOtherChars
LOCAL lcExcludeChars
LOCAL i

lnSuccess = 0

* This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
* See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

lnSuccess = 0

loFortuna = CreateObject('Chilkat.Prng')

* Set this equal to 1 if the generated password must include at least one digit (0-9)
lnBDigit = 1

* Set this equal to 1 if the generated password must include both uppercase and lowercase chars.
lnBUpperAndLower = 1

* The generated password must contain one of the following non-alphanumeric chars.
lcOtherChars = "@#$%*"

* Exclude chars that appear similar to others:
lcExcludeChars = "iIlLoO0"

* Generate 8-character passwords:

FOR i = 1 TO 10
    ? loFortuna.RandomPassword(8,lnBDigit,lnBUpperAndLower,lcOtherChars,lcExcludeChars)
NEXT
