KiXtart Language Reference (SRnd)
[ KiXtart VBScript Batch AutoIt HTA PowerShell Windows Command Lines Other Command Line Utilities ]
Available from version 3.51 through the latest release.
Syntax
SRnd (<seed value>)
Description
Sets the starting point for generating a series of pseudo-random integers
Remarks
To restart the number list, specify the same value as the seed value with the SRnd function. By default, the seed value used is “1”. Therefore, calling Rnd, before any call to SRnd, generates the same sequence as calling SRnd with seed passed as “1”.
One good way to generate a “random” seed value is to use the current number of milliseconds as a seed value. The @MSECS macro returns the current number of milliseconds as a three-digit number that changes every millisecond.
