Data Generator Wizard: EMail and Name - How do I generate a new entry each iteration?

Does anyone know how to create a variable that will generate new/unique Email Addresses and Names?     I'm creating a Keyword test case that requires unique entries for Name and Email each time it ...

    Gang,

     

    Kevin Johnson over at Tyler Technologies was able to provide me with a Keyword-ish solution that works very well when you need to create a unique entry in an alphanumeric field, and I wanted to share it.

     

    See the Attachment I've added for steps and screenshots.

     

    Kudos to Kevin.

I'm just lazy.  I got tired of cutting and pasting it for every place I needed a number.  :)

Threw this together quick... JScript/JavaScript compatible.  If you are using keyword tests, call this script routine and then you can use "Last Operation Result" in either a variable assignment or a parameter to utilize it in other operations.

 

function getUniqueID(digitLength) {
    var JJJHHMM = 7;
    var JJJYYHHMM = 9;
    var MMDDYYHHMM = 10;
    var MMDDYYYYHHMM = 12;
    var MMDDYYYYHHMMSS = 14;
    try {
        switch (digitLength) {
            case JJJHHMM: return aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(aqDateTime.Now(), '%j%H%M');
                break;
            case JJJYYHHMM: return aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(aqDateTime.Now(), '%j%y%H%M');
                break;
            case MMDDYYHHMM: return aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(aqDateTime.Now(), '%m%d%y%H%M');
                break;
            case MMDDYYYYHHMM: return aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(aqDateTime.Now(), '%m%d%Y%H%M');
                break;
            case MMDDYYYYHHMMSS: return aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(aqDateTime.Now(), '%m%d%Y%H%M%S');
                break;
            default: throw Error('An unknown digitLength was used.  Please use a value of 7, 9, 10, 12, or 14');
        } 
    } 
    catch (exception) {
        Log.Error(exception.message, exception.stack);
        return 'error';
    } 
    
}

I'm also going to incorporate this into the OgreUtilities script extension.
