Operating Systems Solaris Solaris scripting problem with ksh88 Post 302916502 by RudiC on Wednesday 10th of September 2014 09:54:43 AM

Not sure if this works in ksh88 as I can't test it:
Code:
echo $((RANDOM%${#MATRICE})) | awk -vM="$MATRICE" 'BEGIN {n=split (M, T, "")} {print T[$1]}'

And, it might not be the most efficient approach if you want to use it for e.g. lengthy passwords...

EDIT: Try
Code:
PWLEN=25
while ((++I < PWLEN)); do echo $((RANDOM%${#MATRICE})); done | awk -vM="$MATRICE" 'BEGIN {n=split (M, T, "")} {printf "%s", T[$1]} END {printf "\n"}'

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1). AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like @include getopt.awk in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path. OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
