Here is a php script to do it. Jace asked for a similar one some time ago, it might work for you. It outputs to the screen vs. saving another file, so copy/paste will be your friend

You can also remove the <br> in the echo statement and just save the output if that works better.

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<br>"; 
   } 
exit; 
?>

or,
Potter posted a way to do it in Excel or OpenOffice..

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.

Sorry Woj, you hadn't posted yet when I started..
I imagine Woj can do a lot better than this anyway, definitely worth looking into

FHG2HTML v.1.2.1

Here's a desktop tool:

FHG2HTML v.1.2.1

Import a list of your galleries and check the random button. It outputs html links.

Do you know a software to extract urls from a text mixed with urls in a txt?

**jayeff** · 02-18-2007, 02:23 PM

This is similar to at least one above, but it will allow you to specify how many links to show from the main list. In this example, 0 through 24 = 25:

Code:

<?php
$links=file("http://yourdomain.com/yourfile.html");
shuffle($links);
$output = array_slice($links, 0, 24);
foreach ($output as $a) {
    echo $a; 
} 
?>

You do not need to put a full URL in for the file, but I use this code on several sites to generate random lists from a single "master".

I am not sure how PHP became the de facto language for all tasks, but here is alternative solution using Ruby.

Code:

data=IO.readlines('urls.txt')

new_data=data.sort_by {rand}

output=File.open('output.txt','w')

new_data.each do |line|
        output.puts line
end

output.close

Depends ... if you're talking about a .csv file you can use Excel. How is the text file structured?

**u-Bob** · 02-18-2007, 04:31 PM

Code:

$n = @fhglist;
foreach (reverse 0..$n) {
my $draw = splice(@fhglist, rand $n, 1);
push @fhglist, $draw;
}
