Shuffle a string

[mark-prior]

Hopefully easy

$string = "12345678"

how do i shuffle said sting to produce a random arrangement ? i.e numbers come out as 153264987?

($string -split '' | Sort-Object {Get-Random}) -join ''

Thank you!! I was thinking I would need to loop through the string I needed to shuffle. You guys rock!

Depending on what you are doing, another option may be a range as well:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-Random -Minimum 100000000 -Maximum 199999999
156910726

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-Random -Minimum 100000000 -Maximum 199999999
170770366

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-Random -Minimum 100000000 -Maximum 199999999
169781938
