#### Create RandomString Instance

[](#create-randomstring-instance)

```
use Didatus\RandomString\RandomString;
$randomString = new RandomString();
```

#### Create RandomString Instance with own character pool and with excluding characters

[](#create-randomstring-instance-with-own-character-pool-and-with-excluding-characters)

```
use Didatus\RandomString\RandomString;
$randomString = new RandomString('0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', '1IO0');
```

Excluding characters can be helpful for generating readable coupons (without confusing 0 and O for example).

#### Generate a single random string

[](#generate-a-single-random-string)

```
$randomString = new RandomString();
$string = $randomString->getString(10);
```

#### Generate a single random alpha numeric string excluding confusing characters

[](#generate-a-single-random-alpha-numeric-string-excluding-confusing-characters)

```
$randomString = new RandomString('0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', '1IO0');
$string = $randomString->getString(10);
```

#### generate a list of five random tokens

[](#generate-a-list-of-five-random-tokens)

```
$randomString = new RandomString();
$strings = $randomString->getListOfString(10, 5);
```
