%str.rand( <format> )

Get random string built from input character classes.

Return: string

Build strings of random chars, useful for generating tokens and passcodes Format similar to the Perl module String::Random.

Format characters may include the following, and may be preceded by an integer repetition count:

Table 1. Character Classes
Character	Description
c	lowercase letters `[a-z]`
C	uppercase letters `[A-Z]`
n	numbers `[0-9]`
a	alphanumeric
!	punctuation !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<⇒?@[\\]^_{\|}~`
.	alphanumeric + punctuation
s	alphanumeric + `.` and `/`
o	characters suitable for OTP (visually similar characters removed)
b	binary data

There is no h for "hex". Instead, use b to create binary data, and then use the %hex(..) function to convert the output to hex.
