Scripting

Script File

Password Generator Professional supports sending each password generated to a VBScript script created by you, before returning the password back to the generator and listing it as a generated password.

You can use this feature to add customized actions that you need performed.

Scripting works by choosing in the program which script file you want to load. The scripts can access 3 different variables for each password generated:

Some useful VBScript functions you can use are:

Example Scripts

Here is an example script that simply adds some hardcoded text onto each password:

password = password + "-Hello!"

A password generated with this script loaded might look like this: 3iQy45mW-Hello!

Here is another script that adds a random number between 100 and 1000, and also appends the current date and time to the passwords:

Function GetRandomNumber()
Randomize

GetRandomNumber = CStr(Int((1000 - 100 + 1) * Rnd + 100))
End Function

Function GetDateToday()
GetDateToday = CStr(Now)
End Function

password = password + " (" + GetRandomNumber() + ")"
password = password + " - Password generated: " + GetDateToday()

A password generated with this script loaded might look like this: sjBLdZk7 (478) - Password generated: 10.11.2006 08:13:14

For more example scripts, see the Scripts folder in the Password Generator Professional folder.

If the script contains bugs or uses features not available in scripts, an error message will be shown, and Password Generator Professional will attempt to run the script as far as it can without receiving the bug.

Note: When loading scripts to Password Generator Professional, the time needed to generate the passwords will be greatly increased.

Note: We don't provide support help of creating scripts using Microsoft's scripting language VBScript. For help with creating such scripts, please see websites such as W3Schools VBScript Tutorials and Microsoft's VBScript Language Reference.

Note: If you have a Firewall software or similar installed, and you are using Objects in the script such as FileSystemObject for file access, it might not allow the script to be run or will halt/stop it from being executed.
