ruby - Generate Unique Random String With Letters And Numbers In Lower Case



How can I fix this code so it generates unique random letters and numbers in lower case?



api_string = (0...32).map{65.+(rand(25)).chr}.join    


At the moment, it generates only letters.


Answer



If you are using ruby 1.9.2 you can use SecureRandom:



irb(main):001:0> require 'securerandom'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> SecureRandom.hex(13)
=> "5bbf194bcf8740ae8c9ce49e97"
irb(main):003:0> SecureRandom.hex(15)
=> "d2413503a9618bacfdb1745eafdb0f"
irb(main):004:0> SecureRandom.hex(32)
=> "432e0a359bbf3669e6da610d57ea5d0cd9e2fceb93e7f7989305d89e31073690"
