Try this...


def random_text

      letters = ("a".."z").to_a

      letters.each_index do |  l  | 

           r = rand(letters.length - 1);

           letters[l],letters[r] =letters[r],letters[l] 

      end
     
      string = letters[0,rand(8)].to_s

      if string.empty?
           random_text
      else
           return string
      end

end

print %^<input type="text" name="zip" value=#{random_text}>^
