How do you shuffle the lines of a text file? - GoFuckYourself.com

Found some PHP options, but I'd rather paste it into a text box and have javascript do it or something.

There is no PHP-like shuffle function in JavaScript, so you have to do it like this:

Code:

shuffle = function(myArray) { 
	for (var tmp, j, i = myArray.length; i; j = parseInt(Math.random()*i), tmp = myArray[--i], myArray[i] = myArray[j], myArray[j] = tmp);
	return myArray;
};
