Generating a Range of Ascii Values

Question

Is there a more effective way of generating ascii values? I'm trying to emulate this same pattern in JavaScript that I've written in Bash.

Bash

read -ra chars <<< $(echo -e "$(printf '\\x%x ' {33..126})")

JS

var chars = [];
for(var chr = 33; chr < 126; chr++) {
  chars.push(String.fromCharCode(chr));
}

What do you want to do with them? Do you want to just print them out or do you want to use them to validate input or something else? — Michael Adamission, Jun 03 '14 at 04:57
I just need them in an array so I can can use them to create a password. @madamission — theGrayFox, Jun 03 '14 at 13:00

Since you want to generate a password from them, you might as well just put all the characters in a string, something like this: Generate random string/characters in JavaScript

I'll check out the link. The whole point of generating the array was to have all of the characters and then shuffling them and finally calling join to return a string. – theGrayFox Jun 03 '14 at 22:24
