Batch File Random Number

Comment:

Hello, I want a random fact part of my Batch File, but when i use the %random% command, it crashes. I believe that this is because '%random%' picks a number between 1 and 32767. Is there a way of randomly selecting a number between 1 and 10 (that i can change, should i wish to add more facts)

set /a R=%random%%10+1 ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

This doesn't work. It gives me numbers like 22335 @echo off cls :1 set /a R=%random%%10+1 echo %R% pause >nul goto 1
