Is there a tool that ... - GoFuckYourself.com

Is there a tool that can mix/reorder lines of text into a different/random order, for example, I enter:

URL A
URL B
URL C
URL D
URL E
URL F
etc.

Output:
URL C
URL F
URL E
URL A
URL D
URL B
etc.

Is there a program that can do that with hundreds or thousand lines of text/URL's ?

couldn't Excel do some random order thing?
(I don't know shit about it, but I wondered that before myself.)

Personally - I would do it with excel - say number 1 to 100 on another column - copy and past it throughout the column until the end of your list - then take both columns and Data Sort by the numbered column - every hundred urls will be following the order

You know ... I needed to have that done a couple of years back, but I cannot remember why.

But anyway, how many lines are you looking to have mixed? What's the purpose?

It is a list of free hosted galleries of various sponsors that should be included in our TGP?s. For example we have 500 Category A galleries of 10 sponsors I want to mix that list so the script doesn?t show first all galleries of one sponsor, then the next etc. It can be done by hand but it takes extremely long for 20k+ galleries.

I just found something that works for anybody interested:

The only thing that sucks is that the export list creates a empty row between each text line.

With Text Pipe I removed the blank lines and I have a perfect list!

Should be a big help for other tgp owners too!

place this in the same dir as the file you want to shuffle and change $textfile to the filename of the list.

shuffle.php

PHP Code:


			
<?php



$textfile = "urls.txt";



$data = file($textfile);



shuffle($data);

shuffle($data);

shuffle($data);



$fp = fopen($textfile, "w+");

foreach($data as $line) {

  fwrite($fp, trim($data) . "\r\n");

}

fclose($fp);



?>

excel would probably do it, but if I remember well, the max number of rows for an exel sheet is the size of an integer (65535 )
