Re: string.random

[Markus Huber <pulse@...>]

Dear Adrian,

thank you for your good help. Indeed your code is faster. To produce
5000 times an 32 char-random-string with the pattern %l%d my simple
version needs about ~1.9 sec and your tuned version needs ~0.7 sec.

Some corrections:
do -- block for upvalues   --> not needed
Built = {'.',AllChars}     --> Built={['.']=Chars}
string.sub(S,Loop,Loop+1)  --> string.sub(S,Loop,Loop)

I will place the tested code to the lua-wiki.
