I haven't tested this (just wrote it in the email), but it should be close:
function getRandomNumberArray(length, count) {
var min = "1" + repeatString("0", length - 1);
var max = repeatString("9", length);
var uniquer = structNew();
var result = arrayNew(1);
var num = "";
while (arrayLen(result) LT count) {
num = randRange(min, max);
if (NOT structKeyExists(uniquer, num)) {
uniquer[num] = "";
arrayAppend(result, num);
}
}
return result;
}
cheers,
