Anyone know of a program that will take a text file and randomize the lines? - GoFuckYourself.com

I have a huge list of urls, and I need them to be in random order...I have text pad, but that only sorts by letter and shit, and I need everything to randomize

is randomize even a word?

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;

?>

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.
