I can make you such a program, that generates such numbers randomly
and save them to a txt file if you want

If that would be possible, I would be readily available to entertain
discussions with you. Kindly let me know how to get in touch with you.

The site for Gen-IT is

http://www.namitech.com/products/GenIT.htm

but their brochure is under revision. They do list an email address
for further information, though.

----------------
You can generate random numbers of the form you want in Excel if you
don't find the specific software you want, though.

One solution in Excel would be the following; it uses ten cells.

Step 1: In a cell, say, A1, put in the formula

=TEXT(TRUNC(RAND()*9999.9999),0)

to get a random integer between 0 and 9999.

Step 2: You'll need the length of the digit for numbers like "24,"
which need leading zeros to get the four-digit form you require.

In cell A2, put in 

=LEN(A1)

Step 3: In cell A3, add leading zeros if necessary:

=LEFT("0000", 4-A2) & A1

Step 4: Copy cells A1 through A3 to columns B and C to get two more 4
digit numbers.

Step 5: Combine these numbers and intervening spaces in cell D3

=A3 & " " & B3 & " " & C3

--------
Forcing a recalculation will generate a new random number in cell D3.
("CMD =" does this in Excel on a Mac).

--------
You can copy each number to another application, such as Word; but, if
you want to copy each number
to another cell in Excel, you'll need to use "Paste Special" in the
Edit menu and then select "Values."

I assumed that you wanted random numbers. However, if you want
consecutive serial numbers, you can also generate these in Excel.

I actually wanted random numbers. However I didnt quite get the excel
idea. Could you do a little more on a generating software.

You can also generate random numbers in HTML using javascript.

--------------
<HTML>
<HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function rand4() {
   var totalDigits = 4;
   var n = Math.random()*10000;
   n = Math.round(n);
   n = n.toString(); 
      var pd = ''; 
      if (totalDigits > n.length) { 
         for (i=0; i < (totalDigits-n.length); i++) { 
            pd += '0'; 
         } 
      } 
   return pd + n.toString();
}

function num_gen() {
   var num = rand4()+" "+rand4()+" "+rand4();
   document.frm1.num.value = num;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<FORM name="frm1" onSubmit="num_gen();return false;">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="num">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" value="Generate">
</FORM>
</BODY></HTML>

scottrichards,

To generate a random number in your format in Excel,

Open a new Excel spreadsheet.

Go back to your browser, highlight and copy the following 3 lines:

=TEXT(TRUNC(RAND()*9999.9999),0)
=LEN(A1)
=LEFT("0000", 4-A2) & A1

Go to cell A1 in Excel and paste (ctrl-V in Windows); numbers should
appear in cells A1, A2, and A3.

These cells should already be highlighted; copy them (ctrl-C).
Highlight cells B1 and C1; then paste (ctrl-V).

You should now have numbers in 9 cells. The last line is the one you
are interested in. Press F9; the numbers should change. Upon pressing
F9, you will occasionally get a number less than 1000; note that
leading zero(s) have been added.

The next step is to combine the three numbers in row 3. To do that,
copy the line below and paste it in cell D3.

=A3 & " " & B3 & " " & C3

Now when you press F9, the number in D3 changes each time and should
be in the format you want.
------
You can copy the numbers in D3 individually or you can use a macro to
generate 100 at a time. But first, see if the above works for you.

Ignore the following; I'm just testing for unexpected line breaks in
case you decide to go the macro route.

Sub CopyValues()
    Range("D3").Select
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    Selection.Copy
    Range("E6").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
        False, Transpose:=False
    For i = 1 To 99
    ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
        False, Transpose:=False
    Next
End Sub

Thanks for the comments, I was made to understand that there is a
logrithm that goes with number generators(ions) I want to know, having
taking into consideration the number format above, if there is a
script or a generator that can generate in line with the number above.

Thank you

I'm lost at your comment about a logarithm.  

You should probably contact the Gen-IT email address and see if you
can purchase the software you want.
