您可以使用Ruby Gem Facets中的String#随机。

它基本上做到了这一点：

class String
  def self.random(len=32, character_set = ["A".."Z", "a".."z", "0".."9"])
    characters = character_set.map { |i| i.to_a }.flatten
    characters_len = characters.length
    (0...len).map{ characters[rand(characters_len)] }.join
  end
end

此解决方案为激活代码生成一个易于读取的字符串；我不希望人们把8和B混淆，把1和I混淆，把0和O混淆，把L和1混淆，等等。

# Generates a random string from a set of easily readable characters
def generate_activation_code(size = 6)
  charset = %w{ 2 3 4 6 7 9 A C D E F G H J K M N P Q R T V W X Y Z}
  (0...size).map{ charset.to_a[rand(charset.size)] }.join
end

鉴于：

chars = [*('a'..'z'),*('0'..'9')].flatten

可以作为参数传递的单个表达式允许重复字符：

Array.new(len) { chars.sample }.join

红宝石1.9+：

ALPHABET = ('a'..'z').to_a
#=> ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z"]

10.times.map { ALPHABET.sample }.join
#=> "stkbssowre"

# or

10.times.inject('') { |s| s + ALPHABET.sample }
#=> "fdgvacnxhc"

10.times do 
  alphabet = ('a'..'z').to_a
  string += alpha[rand(alpha.length)]
end

我想，到目前为止，我最喜欢雷达的回答。我会这样做：

CHARS = ('a'..'z').to_a + ('A'..'Z').to_a
def rand_string(length=8)
  s=''
  length.times{ s << CHARS[rand(CHARS.length)] }
  s
end
