Just as a tip - if you want to save hassle for yourself and your users,
remove the following characters from that string:
- 1 (number one)
- l (lower-case letter L)
- I (upper-case letter I)
- 0 (number zero)
- O (upper-case letter O)
These often look the same (for instance, in Courier New at 9pt, 1/l and 0/O
are pixel-perfect matches of each other) and can cause major confusion
amongst less technically gifted users :-)
Cheers
Jon
