Random Number within an specific range

[RF]

Hello Listers,

I've been using the Rnd() function which generates a  float number between 0 and 1. I'm interested in generating a random number between an specific range of numbers, i.e. between 1 and 3. Not sure how to accomplish this.

Hi,

Try:
int(Rnd(1)*3+1)

Uffe,

Thank you for the suggestion, it works. The 3 represents the upper limit of the range. I will try to figure out how to make it work for some other ranges, 10 to 30, .... # to #.

Will post the results.

Thanks!

Roger
