VBScript - How to Generate a Random Number, then an If-Statement to Use this Number to Pick an Option

compilation, if-statement, random, vbscript

Solution

You need `randomize` and `rnd`. `int(rnd * n) + 1` evaluates to an integer number between 1 and n. And you might use `select case...` here as well, try this:

dim r
randomize
r = int(rnd*10) + 1
select case r
    case 2
        '... 

    case 7
        '... 

end select

Problem

I would like to know how to, (In VBScript) generate a random number that would not be the same on a different computer, and then use that number and perhaps some If-Statements so that one of 10 possible options can be activated, eg. ``` If (A random number between 1 - 10, eg. 2) then (Continue on part of script then wscript.quit) Else if (A different number, eg. 7) then (continue on to different part of script then wscript.quit) ``` etc. So that I would have 10 different options for the script to choose randomly. Is this possible? If so then would someone be able to compile an example of this so I can put my own script in and use it? Thanks to any answers!
