Try this:
<cfscript>
theString = "";
for (i=0; i LT 10 ; i=i+1) {
theNum = RandRange(48,90);
if(theNum LTE 64 AND theNum GTE 58) {
i=i-1;
}else{
theString = theString & chr(theNum);
}
}
</cfscript>
If you have CF 5, you can make a UDF out of it:
<cfscript>
function getRandomString(theLength) {
theString = "";
for (i=0; i LT theLength ; i=i+1) {
theNum = RandRange(48,90);
if(theNum LTE 64 AND theNum GTE 58) {
i=i-1;
}else{
theString = theString & chr(theNum);
}
}
return theString;
}
</cfscript>
<cfoutput>#getRandomString(10)#</cfoutput>
