Random number formula returns same number batch

Question

i am trying to make a random number between 1 and a variable, this variable will change each time the program runs. i am using this so far: SET /A result=%random%*%var%/32768+1

but everytime i re-run the batch file it returns the same number, do people know what is going on?

Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

Try this instead:

set /a result=(%random% %% %var%) + 1
