Moderators Melba23 Posted August 11, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 11, 2012 d4rkdz,Give us a chance to help you. Please post an example of the file and explain how you want the data sorted. At the moment we would just be whistling in the dark if we suggested anything at all. M23P.S. All we need is a few lines of the file - post it with [code] before and [/code] after the text so it appears neatly in a box.

water Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Can you explain why you have to read them randomly and then sort them? Can't you just read the whole file to an array, sort it and then access the records? How large is the file we are talking about?

abberration Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I don't feel like doing all the work, but I came up with some code for randomizing an array of number, which could be used to randomize a length of file lines to read. The OP should at least try something. Don't expect others to write all your code for you. #include <array.au3> Global $listOfNumbers[100] For $i = 1 to 100 Step 1 $listOfNumbers[$i - 1] = $i Next _RandomizeSet() Func _RandomizeSet() For $i = 1 to 100 Step 1 _ArraySwap($listOfNumbers[Random(0, 99, 1)], $listOfNumbers[Random(0, 99, 1)]) Next EndFunc _arraydisplay($listOfNumbers) Easy MP3 | Software Installer | Password Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Melba23 Posted August 11, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 11, 2012 d4rkdz,From that less than helpful post I take it you are looking to sort a list of usernames in a random manner. If that is indeed the case, i recommend that you read the file into an array with _FileReadToArray and then use jchd's excellent random sort algorithm on it.

M23 thanks that was helpful and i got it done , sorry for the poor explanation #include #include Local $data _FileReadToArray("users.txt",$data) local $count=_FileCountLines("users.txt") For $i = UBound($Data) - 1 To 1 Step -1 $j = Random(1, $i, 1) $Temp = $Data[$j] $Data[$j] = $Data[$i] $Data[$i] = $Temp Next _ArrayDelete($data, 1) For $x = 0 To $count-1 MsgBox(0, 'user:' & $x, $data[$x]) Next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
