在Cocoa中生成一个随机的字母数字字符串

Question

我想调用一个方法，传递它的长度并让它生成一个随机的字母数字字符串。

是否有任何实用程序库可能有一堆这些类型的函数？

Answer 1

这是一个快速而肮脏的实现。尚未经过测试。

NSString *letters = @"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789";

-(NSString *) randomStringWithLength: (int) len {

    NSMutableString *randomString = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity: len];

    for (int i=0; i<len; i++) {
         [randomString appendFormat: @"%C", [letters characterAtIndex: arc4random_uniform([letters length])]];
    }

    return randomString;
}

Answer 2

不完全是你要求的，但仍然有用：

[[NSProcessInfo processInfo] globallyUniqueString]

示例输出：

450FEA63-2286-4B49-8ACC-9822C7D4356B-1376-00000239A4AC4FD5

Answer 3

NSString *alphabet  = @"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXZY0123456789";
NSMutableString *s = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:20];
for (NSUInteger i = 0U; i < 20; i++) {
    u_int32_t r = arc4random() % [alphabet length];
    unichar c = [alphabet characterAtIndex:r];
    [s appendFormat:@"%C", c];
}

Answer 4

当然你可以缩短它：

+(NSString*)generateRandomString:(int)num {
    NSMutableString* string = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:num];
    for (int i = 0; i < num; i++) {
        [string appendFormat:@"%C", (unichar)('a' + arc4random_uniform(26))];
    }
    return string;
}

Answer 5

如果您愿意仅限于十六进制字符，那么最简单的选择是生成一个UUID：

NSString *uuid = [NSUUID UUID].UUIDString;

示例输出：16E3DF0B-87B3-4162-A1A1-E03DB2F59654。

如果你想要一个较小的随机字符串，那么你只需要抓住前8个字符。

这是一个版本4 UUID，这意味着第3组和第4组中的第一个字符不是随机的（它们将始终为4，而8，9，{{1 }或A）。

字符串中的每个其他字符都是完全随机的，您可以在数百年内每秒生成数百万个UUID，而不会产生两次生成相同UUID的风险。

Jeff B答案的类别版本。

的NSString + Random.h

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface NSString (Random)

+ (NSString *)randomAlphanumericStringWithLength:(NSInteger)length;

@end

的NSString + Random.m

#import "NSString+Random.h"

 @implementation NSString (Random)

+ (NSString *)randomAlphanumericStringWithLength:(NSInteger)length
{ 
    NSString *letters = @"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789";
    NSMutableString *randomString = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:length];

    for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
        [randomString appendFormat:@"%C", [letters characterAtIndex:arc4random() % [letters length]]];
    }

    return randomString;
}

@end

Answer 7

您也可以生成UUID。虽然不是真正随机的，但它们复杂且独特，这使得它们在大多数用途中看起来是随机的生成一个字符串，然后取一个等于传递长度的字符范围。

func randomStringWithLength(length: Int) -> String {
    let alphabet = "-_1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
    let upperBound = UInt32(count(alphabet))
    return String((0..<length).map { _ -> Character in
        return alphabet[advance(alphabet.startIndex, Int(arc4random_uniform(upperBound)))]
    })
}

Answer 9

这是解决问题的另一种方法。您可以在整数和字符之间进行转换，并生成要选择的动态字符列表，而不是使用准备好的字符串。它非常精简和快速，但有更多的代码。

int charNumStart = (int) '0';
int charNumEnd = (int) '9';
int charCapitalStart = (int) 'A';
int charCapitalEnd = (int) 'Z';
int charLowerStart = (int) 'a';
int charLowerEnd = (int) 'z';

int amountOfChars = (charNumEnd - charNumStart) + (charCapitalEnd - charCapitalStart) + (charLowerEnd - charLowerStart); // amount of the characters we want.
int firstGap = charCapitalStart - charNumEnd; // there are gaps of random characters between numbers and uppercase letters, so this allows us to skip those.
int secondGap = charLowerStart - charCapitalEnd; // similar to above, but between uppercase and lowercase letters.

// START generates a log to show us which characters we are considering for our UID.
NSMutableString *chars = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:amountOfChars];
for (int i = charNumStart; i <= charLowerEnd; i++) {
    if ((i >= charNumStart && i <= charNumEnd) || (i >= charCapitalStart && i <= charCapitalEnd) || (i >= charLowerStart && i <= charLowerEnd)) {
        [chars appendFormat:@"\n%c", (char) i];
    }
}
NSLog(@"chars: %@", chars);
// END log

// Generate a uid of 20 characters that chooses from our desired range.
int uidLength = 20;
NSMutableString *uid = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:uidLength];
for (int i = 0; i < uidLength; i++) {
    // Generate a random number within our character range.
    int randomNum = arc4random() % amountOfChars;
    // Add the lowest value number to line this up with a desirable character.
    randomNum += charNumStart;
    // if the number is in the letter range, skip over the characters between the numbers and letters.
    if (randomNum > charNumEnd) {
        randomNum += firstGap;
    }
    // if the number is in the lowercase letter range, skip over the characters between the uppercase and lowercase letters.
    if (randomNum > charCapitalEnd) {
        randomNum += secondGap;
    }
    // append the chosen character.
    [uid appendFormat:@"%c", (char) randomNum];
}
NSLog(@"uid: %@", uid);

// Generate a UID that selects any kind of character, including a lot of punctuation. It's a bit easier to do it this way.
int amountOfAnyCharacters = charLowerEnd - charNumStart; // A new range of characters.
NSMutableString *multiCharUid = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:uidLength];
for (int i = 0; i < uidLength; i++) {
    // Generate a random number within our new character range.
    int randomNum = arc4random() % amountOfAnyCharacters;
    // Add the lowest value number to line this up with our range of characters.
    randomNum += charNumStart;
    // append the chosen character.
    [multiCharUid appendFormat:@"%c", (char) randomNum];
}
NSLog(@"multiCharUid: %@", multiCharUid);

当我正在进行随机字符生成时，我更喜欢直接使用整数并将它们强制转换，而不是写出我想要绘制的字符列表。在顶部声明变量使其更加独立于系统，但此代码假定数字的值低于字母，而大写字母的值低于小写字母。

Swift中的替代解决方案

func generateString(len: Int) -> String {
    let letters = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789"
    let lettersLength = UInt32(countElements(letters))
    let result = (0..<len).map { _ -> String in
        let idx = Int(arc4random_uniform(lettersLength))
        return String(letters[advance(letters.startIndex, idx)])
    }
    return "".join(result)
}

Answer 11

在这里修改了一些想法，并在Swift 4.0中完成了

extension String
{
    subscript (i: Int) -> Character
    {
        return self[index(startIndex, offsetBy:i)]
    }

    static func Random(length:Int=32, alphabet:String="ABCDEF0123456789") -> String
    {
        let upperBound = UInt32(alphabet.count)
        return String((0..<length).map { _ -> Character in
            return alphabet[Int(arc4random_uniform(upperBound))]
        })
    }
}

用法：

let myHexString = String.Random()
let myLongHexString = String.Random(length:64)
let myLettersString = String.Random(length:32, alphabet:"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ")

Answer 12

生成给定长度的小写字母数字随机字符串：

-(NSString*)randomStringWithLength:(NSUInteger)length
{
    NSMutableString* random = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:length];

    for (NSUInteger i=0; i<length; i++)
    {
        char c = '0' + (unichar)arc4random()%36;
        if(c > '9') c += ('a'-'9'-1);
        [random appendFormat:@"%c", c];
    }

    return random;
}

Answer 13

添加Melvin给出的好答案，这是我创建的函数（SWIFT中的！）来获取随机字符串：

func randomStringOfLength(length:Int)->String{
    var wantedCharacters:NSString="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXZY0123456789"
    var s=NSMutableString(capacity: length)
    for (var i:Int = 0; i < length; i++) {
        let r:UInt32 = arc4random() % UInt32( wantedCharacters.length)
        let c:UniChar = wantedCharacters.characterAtIndex( Int(r) )
        s.appendFormat("%C", c)
    }
    return s
}

以下是调用randomStringOfLength(10)的测试结果： uXa0igA8wm

Answer 16

我使用简单的char[]而不是NSString *来表示字母。我将其添加到NSString类别。

static const char __alphabet[] =
    "0123456789"
    "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
    "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
+ (NSString *)randomString:(int)length
{
    NSMutableString *randomString = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:length];
    u_int32_t alphabetLength = (u_int32_t)strlen(__alphabet);
    for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
        [randomString appendFormat:@"%c", __alphabet[arc4random_uniform(alphabetLength)]];
    }
    return randomString;
}

Answer 17

适用于Swift 3.0

func randomString(_ length: Int) -> String {

    let letters : NSString = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789"
    let len = UInt32(letters.length)

    var randomString = ""

    for _ in 0 ..< length {
        let rand = arc4random_uniform(len)
        var nextChar = letters.character(at: Int(rand))
        randomString += NSString(characters: &nextChar, length: 1) as String
    }

    return randomString
}

Answer 18

如果需要随机unicode字符串，可以创建随机字节，然后使用有效字节。

    OSStatus sanityCheck = noErr;
    uint8_t * randomBytes = NULL;
    size_t length = 200; // can of course be variable

    randomBytes = malloc( length * sizeof(uint8_t) );
    memset((void *)randomBytes, 0x0, length);

    sanityCheck = SecRandomCopyBytes(kSecRandomDefault, length, randomBytes);

    if (sanityCheck != noErr) NSLog(@"Error generating random bytes, OSStatus == %ld.", sanityCheck);

    NSData* randomData = [[NSData alloc] initWithBytes:(const void *)randomBytes length: length];
    if (randomBytes) free(randomBytes);

    NSString* dataString = [[NSString alloc] initWithCharacters:[randomData bytes] length:[randomData length]];  // create an NSString from the random bytes
    NSData* tempData = [dataString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];             // remove illegal characters from string
    NSString* randomString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:tempData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

从NSString到NSData的转换以及返回是获得有效的UTF-8字符串所必需的。 请注意，长度不一定是最终创建的NSString的长度。
