Random Semi-Useful Methods

My first resource!

These are some custom useful methods i made. See what you can do with them, and have fun experimenting with them.

gets a random string, specify the length in the length parameter

function getRandomString(%length) {
   //lets not go too insane here...
   if(%length > 10) {
      warn("Warning, getRandomString(%length)'s length is too long, making it 10...");
      %length = 10;
   }
   %letters = "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 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0";
   for(%i = 0; %i < %length; %i ++) {
      for(%a = 0; %a < 4; %a ++) {
         %Randomchar = getRandom(0, 35);
      }
      %char = getWord(%letters, %Randomchar);
      %string = "\"" @ %string @ %char @ "\"";
   }
   if(%string $= "" || strLen(%string) > 10)
      return -1;
   return %string;
}

for convienence, just compiles a cs or gui file into a dso

function makeDso(%file, %extension) {
   %uncompiledFile = searchFile(%file, %extension);
   if(isFile(%uncompiledFile)) {
      %word = getWord(%uncompiledFile, 1);
      if(%word $= ".cs" || %word $= ".gui") {
         %name = getWord(%uncompiledFile, 0);
         //sanity checking...
         if(%name $= "")
            return error("Error, the file can't be located.");
         echo("Compiling file: " @ %name @ ".");
         compile(%uncompiledFile);
      } else {
         return -1;
      }
   }
}

searches a file, goes with makeDso method.

function searchFile(%file, %ext) {
   %named = findFirstFile("*/" @ %file @ "." @ %ext);
   if(%name !$= "") {
      echo("Found file:" SPC %file @ "." @ %ext);
      return %named;
   }
   return -1;   
}
