Random Array String

Question

Hello I need a little help. I want to randomly generate strings from an array(19) into a label on the form. I just need a little help getting started.

does the array(19) have single characters or a few (2 or 3) characters in each index? if so all you would need to do is something like: Public Class Form1 Dim array() As String = abcdefghklmnopqrstuvxyz .Split(  ) Dim num As Integer = Int(Rnd() * 19) 'random number between 0 and 19 to used for index in array Dim rndLength As Integer Private Sub Button1_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim rndWord As String rndLength = Int(Rnd() * 10) + 1 'random number between 0 and 10 for word length rndWord = array(num) 'set initial string value of rndWorld form array value For n = 0 To rndLength 'setup a loop for word length based on random num num = Int(Rnd() * 19) 'get new random number for index of array rndWord = rndWord & array(num) 'concatenate value to string Next TextBox1.Text = rndWord End Sub End Class
