Anyone know of a program that will take a text file and randomize the lines?

If you can use PHP, here is quick dirty way to do it

PHP Code:

<?php
$file = file("urls.txt");

// Strips dupes if you need, comment out if you do not need this
$temp = array_unique($file);

//Shuffles the deck or randomizes :)
shuffle($temp);
//Prints each line 
foreach($temp as $value)
   {
   echo $value;
   }
exit;
?>

Cool little script. Thanks!

Put a on each line or change the script

From this:

echo $value;

to this:

echo " $value";

or echo "$value ";

oh sorry--
You can save that page as a text file, or view source and it will be line by line

I just added a BR to the end of each line and it worked fine

didn't think of saving it

regardless, it worked perfect

Cool, glad it did what you needed.
And yes, randomizes is a real word.

You can also use open office. Paste all the items into a spreadsheet, then paste the random number char code into the column next to the urls, then sort by numbered column, copy the column with the urls and you're done.

Anyone know of a program that will take a text file and randomize the lines?
