I want to replace existing filenames with random filenames with 20 characters
Assumed <Rand Str:20> would work, but nothing happens.

Any suggestions

p.s. later...
I could not delete my post but I already solved it using a script from ivan
however, still, it would be interesting to know how rand str should work.

Sequence:

var a = 7; //lenght you need
var text = '';
var poss1 = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789'

for(var i=0; i < a; i++)
{
text += poss1.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * poss1.length));
}
return item.newBasename = text;

I don't understand why the <Rand Str:20> doesn't work for you. You are using the latest version, right? Are you able to supply a screenshot showing the <Rand Str:20> in use and not working?
