<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the wiki, there is an example of using mod_expr to generate a random number:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <!-- generate random number between 1 and 100 --><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <action application="set" data="rand_val=${expr(randomize(&x);ceil(random(0,100,&x)))}"/><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <action application="log" data="INFO Random value is ${rand_val}"/><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This works well the first time but if the same dialplan instructions are executed subsequently, the same number is produced each time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is this by design? Is there any other way to seed the random number generator so it will produce different results, as randomize() doesn't seem to be doing quite what I thought it would?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
