Random select multiplie files


Recommended Posts

Well i have now been seaching the internet for some hours and i cant figure out how to script what i need :/

so i came to the idea that maybe you guys could figure it out for me :)

i will go though it step by step

1 i need to go to my image folder

2 in that folder i want to select/highlight 50 random files

job done ;)

i need to select 50 random images in this folder 3 times everyday so it would be pretty helpful if anyone knows how to do that ;)

Edit: yeah I just read that last post. never mind then. Study the helpfile for a day and you will be well on your way to writing basic scripts.

I can assure you you're going to find it a lot more educational than the first month of school.

well i read another post where someone asked for help to some code and someone just wrote the code he needed in a reply so i figured it was worth a try :)

Fair enough.

But if you look at and run the examples of the functions mentioned you will have a script in no time at all.

$array = _Filelisttoarray("path") will give you an array as mentioned.

Ramdom(1,$array[0],1) will give you a random number withing the bounds of your array.

A little if else logic will see you from there.

Write that, and you will get all the help you need here.

Good luck.

#include <File.au3>

Local $i_NumPics = 50
Local $a_RandomNumber[$i_NumPics]

$s_ImageArray = _FileListToArray("C:\my\folder\path", "*", 1) ; array of all files in your image folder
$b_Unique = True
For $i = 0 To UBound($a_RandomNumber) - 1
    Do
        $b_Unique = True ; presume number is unique 
        $irnd = Random(1, Int($s_ImageArray[0]), 1) ; select a random number withing imagearray bounds
        For $j = 0 To UBound($a_RandomNumber) - 1 ;loop throug
            If $irnd = $a_RandomNumber[$j] Then ; you already have that number
                $b_Unique = False ; booooooooooooooo
                ExitLoop
            EndIf
        Next
        If $b_Unique Then ; we dont have that number
            $a_RandomNumber[$i] = $irnd ; yaaaaaaaaaay
        EndIf
    Until $b_Unique ; keep going until random number is unique
Next

For $i = 0 To UBound($a_RandomNumber) -1
    ConsoleWrite($s_ImageArray[$a_RandomNumber[$i]] & @CRLF) ; list your image files
Next

so atm it looks like this

#include <File.au3>

Local $i_NumPics = 50

Local $a_RandomNumber[$i_NumPics]

$s_ImageArray = _FileListToArray("C:\Users\Steffen\Desktop\imagestest", "*", 1) ; array of all files in your image folder

$b_Unique = True

For $i = 0 To UBound($a_RandomNumber) - 1

Do

$b_Unique = True ; presume number is unique

$irnd = Random(1, Int($s_ImageArray[0]), 1) ; select a random number withing imagearray bounds

For $j = 0 To UBound($a_RandomNumber) - 1 ;loop throug

If $irnd = $a_RandomNumber[$j] Then ; you already have that number

$b_Unique = False ; booooooooooooooo

ExitLoop

EndIf

Next

If $b_Unique Then ; we dont have that number

$a_RandomNumber[$i] = $irnd ; yaaaaaaaaaay

EndIf

Until $b_Unique ; keep going until random number is unique

Next

For $i = 0 To UBound($a_RandomNumber) -1

ConsoleWrite($s_ImageArray[$a_RandomNumber[$i]] & @CRLF) ; list your image files

Next

Yeah, there are a couple of members who have fully coded, debugged, feature filled custom solutions ready for newbs who ask for help in like five minutes flat. I can't explain it how they do it.

You only missed one slash:

#include <File.au3>
Local $i_NumPics = 50
Local $a_RandomNumber[$i_NumPics]
$s_ImageArray = _FileListToArray("C:\Gifs\Users\Steffen\Desktop\imagestest\", "*", 1) ;<<<<  === study this line carefully
$b_Unique = True
For $i = 0 To UBound($a_RandomNumber) - 1
    Do
        $b_Unique = True ; presume number is unique
        $irnd = Random(1, Int($s_ImageArray[0]), 1) ; select a random number withing imagearray bounds
        For $j = 0 To UBound($a_RandomNumber) - 1 ;loop throug
            If $irnd = $a_RandomNumber[$j] Then ; you already have that number
                $b_Unique = False ; booooooooooooooo
                ExitLoop
            EndIf
        Next
        If $b_Unique Then ; we dont have that number
            $a_RandomNumber[$i] = $irnd ; yaaaaaaaaaay
        EndIf
    Until $b_Unique ; keep going until random number is unique
Next

For $i = 0 To UBound($a_RandomNumber) - 1
    ConsoleWrite($s_ImageArray[$a_RandomNumber[$i]] & @CRLF) ; list your image files

Well you should bear in mind that a programing language will most likely come into play at some point during your Drawing education, and it wont harm you to get a head start.

You could think of Autoit as a hobby if you want, but I guarantee it will help you in the future.
