well this is not TV. you should be patient.

You should use Random to generate number, then associate numbers with messages using Switch (search for Excuse Generator in Example Scripts), and use Send and WinWaitActive to write it in notepad

EDIT: actually he asked something completly else..... ...see my post #6

Ok I am done

#include <File.au3>
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2)
$notepad=WinGetText("Notepad")
FileWrite(@TempDir & "\AutoItTempFile.tmp",$notepad)
$lines=_FileCountLines(@TempDir & "\AutoItTempFile.tmp")
$randomline=Random(1,$lines,1)
$randomline=FileReadLine(@TempDir & "\AutoItTempFile.tmp", $randomline)
MsgBox(0,"The random line","The random line from temp file is:" & @CRLF & $randomline)
FileDelete(@TempDir & "\AutoItTempFile.tmp")

$randomline contains your line. Do whatever you want with it in rest of your script

EDIT: added temp file deletion feature...

here is an alternative:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
$notepad = WinGetText("Notepad")
$lines = StringSplit($notepad,@crlf,1)
$randomline = Random(1, $lines[0], 1)
MsgBox(0, "The random line", "The random line from temp file is:" & @CRLF & $randomline & "-" & $lines[$randomline])

of course...they always use moderators examples okay.... but you have to admit...you used parts of my script....

EDIT: If you have two programs, you can transfer text between them using tempfile...just remove FileDelete line.... (yep now the advertising...)
