Saylien, A couple of years ago I wrote to this list describing a way of accessing certain dot net classes from Jaws scripts. It is possible to access the System.Random class in this way, although with limitations. I give a script below in which repeated calls to that classes' Next () method would give a set of pseudo random positive integers, as long as you have a dot net framework installed on your machine. Unfortunately, the returned range is from 0 to MaxInt32, or 0 to 2147483647, rather than the the range of 1 to 10 which you want. It happens that the Next () method can take an integer parameter which limits the maximum value returned, but Jaws scripts cannot pass an integer parameter to any object (corrections to this claim would be welcome). As a hack, I divide the returned value by approx one tenth of MaxInt32. This is not a very accurate way of limiting the returned range, but seems on testing to give a range of 0 to 10. Adding 1 to the returned value at this stage would give a range of 1 to 11, but you might use a while loop to throw away any values higher than 10 and keep calling the method until a number in the desired range is returned. hth Martin Script test () Var object oRand, object oNull, int r let oRand = CreateObject ("System.Random") let r = (oRand.Next () / 214748365) SayInteger (r) oRand = oNull EndScript ----- Original Message ----- From: "Saylien Brown" <saybro@xxxxxxxxx> To: <jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, November 27, 2010 7:33 PM Subject: [jawsscripts] JAWS function for generating random numbers? > Hi, > > I'm using JAWS 12 under Windows 7 home premium. > > Is there any function in the Script Manager that will tell JAWS to > generate a random number (Between 1 and 10) then store it in a variable? > > If not, can someone give me an example script I can use to do the above? > > __________� > > View the list's information and change your settings at > //www.freelists.org/list/jawsscripts > __________� View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/jawsscripts
