Random read files from a directory

[bubke]

Hello,

Does anyone have an example for random reading files from a directory? I want to read a sequence of files, but the program must it read random.

To read files from a directory is no problem, but i can't figure it out how to do it random.

Grtz, bubke

Look at the functions _FileListToArray and Random..

You could use _FileListToArray to find out all the files in an directory, and then random to get a random file.

This is an untested version of what you want to do:

$temp = _FileListToArray("C:\", "*.*", 1) 
FileRead($temp[Random(1, UBound($temp) - 1])
