Hi all,

I hope some talented person can help me.

I have an application the generates a text file with a series of entries in it and I need to generate a file that randomly picks x amount of entries (where x is a number I need). For example

Widget1
widget2
Widget5
Widget9
Widget10

Now, the number of entries, ie widgets, can vary, from zero to 20 or more in it.

What I need to do is be able to RANDOMLY pick a predetermined number of widget entries. So that if I say pick 2 entries, I might get Widget5 and 9, then next time it might be 1 and 10.

I think I need to:
1. Read the file and create an array.
2. Work out how many entries are in the array.
3. Pick a predetermined number that I want.
4. Randomly pick some of the entries based on the number I want.
5. Then generate a new file with those random entries.

Make sense.

I need some serious help in making some code, and would seriously appreciate the help!

Thanks,
Wil
