Word Count and Random String Generator

This function takes three arguments: file path, length of random string, and output file path. The function first checks if the file exists, then counts the number of words in the file and generates a random string of specified length. Finally, the function writes the word count, random string, and the first 10 words from the file to the specified output file.
