I'm hoping there is a simple function in elisp to do this....
I want to generate a random id which is in the format of XXX-0000
where 'XXX' is made up of ascii characters a-z and 0000 is a random
number 0000-9999.
I found random -- so that (random 10000) produces the number very
nicely but I can't find anything that will produce three random
characters in the same way.
Is there a simple way of doing this that I haven't found?
Cheers,
