    Random Number Generator software


    Preferably free - anyone know of something that can generate large numbers of random numbers (or pseudo-random) to fill whatever file size I choose. It is basically just something to use for playing around with. I have looked but can't seem to find what I want, thanks.

    Take a look at Random Number Generator Tool 1.0 from Tucows: Random Number Generator Tool - Free Download - Tucows Downloads

    Here is a sample of its output (note that it calls itself List Generator and that the maximum length of generated numbers is 18 digits):

    Also note that it opens a browser advertising page after closing the program, just close the browser window.

    If anyone else has a better program, or can write suitable code, please post. I'll keep looking to see if I can find something better.

    Thanks Dwarf, I had a look at that one and wasn't sure it could provide the varying size of files I would like. I'll have another look at it. I thought after I posted that I might already have the means in that I use Truecrypt and so could probably use this to provide suitable files but I'll still look further too.

    Are you after purely numeric characters?

    While this is not a program, you still might find this interesting:

    After full ASCII range so I can simulate any file really. :)
