If you wanted something to be a letter or number you could have a math.random(0,35)
If the number is anywhere from 0-9 then set it equal to value (a number), else subtract 9 from the value and have an alphabet table like this...
local alphabet = { "a", "b", "c", "d", ... }
Where if you would get a random letter by doing alphabet[value] (a letter).

The built in function "string.char(...)" does this in a slightly nicer way. string.byte("a") gives the alphanumerical code of "a". So, string.char(math.random(string.byte("a"), string.byte("z"))) should be what you want

math.random only takes in 2 values so math.random(MinNumber,MaxNumber)
