Add random string of letters and numbers to a filename

Would be cool to be able to add a random string of letters and numbers to a filename, or to replace the name with such.
Thanks!

I'd suspect that JavaScript rename part of the program could do that already.https://www.google.com/search?q=javascript+randomize+name&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial

Yes, something like this, in BRU javacript:

Code: Select all
function makeid() {
  var text = "";
  var possible = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789";

  for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    text += possible.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * possible.length));

  return text;
}

newName = name + makeid();
