Keyword arguments

This function supports four keyword arguments.

Generating a random string

Calling the function without arguments will produce a 10 character long string of numbers and mixed-case letters similar to the result example above.

Keywords may be provided in any order and combination.

Code example

from falconpy import random_string
result = random_string()
print(result)

Output example

lqp7iGsob0

The length of the returned string can be specified using the length keyword argument.

Code example

from falconpy import random_string
result = random_string(length=25)
print(result)

Output example

Letters, numerical digits and special characters can be enabled and disabled using the include_letters, include_digits and include_specials keywords.

The following example will generate a string of 10 numbers.

Code example

from falconpy import random_string
result = random_string(include_letters=False)

Output example

The generated value is returned as a string.
