Best way to randomize a text list??? - GoFuckYourself.com

OzMan · 03-18-2005, 11:55 PM

I have a text file of the form:

word1
word2
word3
word4
word5
etc

and I want something that will randomly change the order, for example:

word3
word1
word5
word2
word4

Any suggestions?

what language do you want to use?

in VB i would just have a randomize statement run from the lbound to the ubound of the array and write them to a different file.

<?php

randomize OzMan's text!

?php>

j/k, I have no idea, but if that works, cheers man!

I just want a simple desktop app like textpad or something.

There are a bunch that will sort a file .. alpha numeric ascending descending etc but I wanna do the opposite I guess

PHP Code:


			


<?



$data = file('data.txt');



shuffle($data);



foreach ($data as $value) {



   echo "Value: $value<br />\n";



}

?>

You can use Excel and put your text in column A and then use the rand function in column B then sort.

#!/usr/bin/perl

# Read File
while (<>) {
push(foo, $_);
}

# Shuffle lines
srand;
for (0..$#foo) {
$r = rand($#foo+1);
($foo[$r], $foo[$_]) = ($foo[$_], $foo[$r]);
}

# Print it out
for (0..$#foo) {
print $foo[$_];
}

$filename = "ban.txt";
$sites = file($filename);
srand ((double) microtime() * 1000000);
$a = rand(0, sizeof($sites) - 1);
echo $sites[$a];

fris · 03-20-2005, 04:39 AM

in ban.txt put a list on each line

OzMan · 03-20-2005, 11:29 AM
