Forums Scripts & Popups replace space in random a/z

hi all
since a few weeks i'm trying to replace te spaces in a line into random a/z.
The line is colored yellow on black, but the spaces needs to be random a/z in the black color, so a normal colored line appears, but when copied you will see this

sinceawhengdoesxaqhorse et.etc.

i try'd %tmp = $replace(%line,$chr(160),$rand(a,z))
but that didn't work.
help appriciated.

Try this:Usage: $storl(text goes here)

Note that I assumed that all spaces in the text are going to be char 160. If this isn't true, the alias has to be modified.

To prevent someone from making a script that can cheat at a trivia game, I suspect?

hi qwerti
yep all spaces are $chr(160) and no.. your solutions doesn't work for me.
Wolfie: yes. you're right perhaps you know a solution?

I tried the solution offered and it does the trick for me
It could be that you are using $chr(32) but thinking you are using $chr(160) - try that and see if that works.

and I was only wondering because I like to sometimes try to figure out ways of defeating trivia's that try to prevent cheating.

Which wouldn't be too difficult in this case. Even with the random characters added in.

hi wolfie.
i changed the 160 into 32 and now the trick is also working for me.
qwerti: thank you for the script.

Wolfie: i know that real programmers can avoid the cheat-protection, but he.. i gotta do something and at least it gives the kiddos a hard time.

Nice coding, as always

Would this work too?

alias storl return $($replace($1,$chr(160),$chr(32) $!+ $!r(a,z) $!+ $chr(32)),2)

There would be a problem if one of the words besides the 1st is a variable/identifier. That's because of the
$($replace($1,$chr(160),$chr(32) $!+ $!r(a,z) $!+ $chr(32)),2)
if $1 is "one<chr60>two<chr60>$me"
the string inside $(...,2) would be "one $+ $r(a,z) $+ two $+ $r(a,z) $+ $me"
so eval-ing it twice would make it "oneRtwoRqwerty"

However, it turns out that the OP meant char 32, not char 160. I rewrote the alias to accomodate for that; this also made it smaller/faster. Here it is:

thats a nice piece of code qwerty. Thank you again.

But is it also possible to include numbers aswell?
like $!r(a,z..0,9) or something like that?, because year numbers are gone aswell now

Yes, if you change $!r(a,z) to $!iif($r(0,1),$r(a,z),$r(0,9))

$!base($r(0,35),10,36) would work too (© qwerty)

I see. Thanks for the explanation

i did the changing as you told me, and the numbers are visible now
however.. the questions looks like this now:
onwich planet isthe ... etc.

P.S. i learn alot here.

perhaps showing the script where it calls on the randomization and sends it could provide better assistance.
