Parameter

Meaning

A

Include uppercase A to F.

a

Include lowercase a to f.

g or G

Extend the letters to the full alphabet. Works only together with A and/or a.

1

Include digits.

!

Include special characters.

LENGTH

Length of each string.

COUNT

Number of strings to generate. Optional, default 1.

The option letters are case-sensitive except g. Each string is printed on its own line.

Note: the special character set includes the space character, so a generated string can contain spaces. If the options contain none of A, a, 1 or !, for example g on its own, GenStr loops forever.
