File Sorting and Filtering with Regex and Random String Generation

This function accepts two arguments: a directory path and a regular expression pattern. It generates a random string, then finds all files in the directory and sorts them by size, finally returning a list of files that match the pattern, total number of files, number of filtered files, a random string, and execution time.
