Generating Random Strings

I need to be able to generate some series of numbers that must always be greater than the last ones created. They must always be unique and no one number must exist in more than one instance when being generated.

Ideally the output would be used to name the file.

Such as..

12345Workorder.txt
12346Workorder.txt

And so forth.

Thanks,

Herb

Hi Herbert,

Sorry for my misunderstanding but for me isn’t clear why you need a random number?

I’ve made a short example for you. Here I used a text file (lastnumber.txt) where you can store a start number. Per each run the .NET Script Heater read this file, increment the number and generates a new unique filename based on this number. Last but not least the .NET Script Heater stores the last used number to the text file for the next run.

The result form this script is passed to the Set Parameter Heater to set the FlowHeater Parameter $FILENAME$. This parameter $FILENAME$ is used as a placeholder in the TextFile Adapter on the WRITE side for the file name.

Please have a look to the attached example.
