If you want to generate a random string, firstly create an array with all of the characters you want to include:
1 | Characters = {"a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g" -- and so on... } |
Then select a random number with the range of the length of your array:
1 | RandomNumber = math.random(#Characters) -- The #Characters gets the length of the array. |
Now index this random number to select a random item in the array and concatenate (join together) this into a string variable.
1 | String = "" |
2 |
3 | for i=1, 10 do -- The number 10 is how long you want the string to be. |
4 | String = String..Characters[RandomNumber] |
5 | end |
6 |
7 | print(String) |
Please excuse any errors, as I made this up on the spot. I may have misinterpreted the question, but I hope this helps.

i know im like 3 years late but for anyone looking for this i did this:
1 | function randomstring() |
2 | local length = math.random(10,20) |
3 | local array = {} |
4 | for i = 1,length do |
5 | array[i] = string.char(math.random(32,126)) |
6 | end |
7 | return table.concat(array) |
8 | end |
if you would want to use it, write the function and then do (instance).Name For example,
01 | function randomstring() |
02 | local length = math.random(10,20) |
03 | local array = {} |
04 | for i = 1,length do |
05 | array[i] = string.char(math.random(32,126)) |
06 | end |
07 | return table.concat(array) |
08 | end |
09 |
10 | script.Name = randomstring() |
and the script name would be something like "|_x^f6`I@'^v5I;<00VW"
