Any leads you have got so far, post your code or your algorithm and we will help you out. Posting out what you want to do is no good to us in helping you.
PS: If you want to write random data, use the normal random function which will generate random numbers between 1 and 128. Cast those numbers to "char" data type and write them to your file. This way you will get random chars in your data file.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
/* Simple "srand()" seed: just use "time()" */
unsigned int iseed = (unsigned int)time(NULL);
srand (iseed);
/* Now generate 5 pseudo-random numbers */
int i;
for (i=0; i<5; i++)
{
printf ("rand[%d]= %u\n",
i, rand ());
}
return 0;Also Maybe the foll:
random number generate and outpt to file
Random number detailed theory

Create multiple file streams, and what you are doign to one file, make that applicable to multiple files.. simple.
FILE *output1; FILE* output2; FILE* output3; // ...... // do something with these files // close the above files

Ok thnx man this is what i have got so far using your examples to help
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
int rrand(int min,int max)
{
static int init = 0;
int ret;
if(init==0){
srand(time(NULL));
init=1;
}
ret = (rand() % (max-min+1) + min);
return ret;
}
int main(void)
{
int i, r;
for(i=0;i<20;i++){
r = rrand(65,90); /* 65 = A, 90 = Z. get it? */
printf("Random char = %c\n",r);
}
return 0;
}
