How - random macro

rastarr

Hi,

I'm trying to understand the random macro better
how do I randomize between double-digit numbers, for example, between 00 and 36? or even triple digits
from the docs, I can only determine that the random macro works only on single digits/characters

OK, found it
%random-0-38% found in the pop-up macros. nice

But how do I use this is a filename, correctly?
I'm trying to extract a line from a group of text. example-

%spinfile-C:\Users\rasta\Documents\gsa\_names\ph\ph-names-about-%random-0-38%.txt%
C:\Users\rasta\Documents\gsa\_names\ph\ph-names-about-%random-0-38%.txt

These two test lines produce the following output using the project test -

random-0-38%.txt%
C:\Users\rasta\Documents\gsa\_names\ph\ph-names-about-31.txt

As you can see, the %spinfile line isn't working, in extracting the random line content
but the filename line is working in pulling a random file.

Thoughts on getting this to work for me, @Sven
