Looks like there are a couple of bugs there. The first, a typo of Z for B, always exits before selecting anything. The second, the for-loop post-increment expression, can cause the algorithm to yield anywhere between 1 and 200 lines.
Probably no need to fix it since Scrutinizer's first example in post #5 is a correct implementation of the same approach.

With regard to all of the AWK suggestions, without knowing exactly how the script is to be used, it's possible that all of the recommendations are inadequate. Nearly every awk srand implementation's default seed is the number of seconds since the epoch. Successive or simultaneous runs could yield identical results. May or may not be an issue. We don't have sufficient information to make that determination. Just a head's up for the OP.
If it is an issue, more information would be required to determine a robust seed expression.

Hi,
From some time, we have noticed that our ascii files have started corrupting due to the presence of some random control characters (^@, ^M, ^H, ^D). The characters appear randomly on any file after the process that creates the file finishes. If we rerun the process, the files re creates... (0 Replies)
I want to take the below data, and have it output to file only the STMC#/(IP address) and the "there are X number of updates to install" lines for each machine. I know it's easy, but Im a beginner in BASH stuff, my solution would probably take way too many lines to do something easy.Thanks!

What I have are two text files that I need to shuffle randomly, but I need the two files to be randomly shuffled the same way. I have heard of shuf but I do not know how to use it for two files. Maybe there is also an easy/simple awk command I do not know about that could handle this problem.

Hello,
This is my code:
nb_lignes=`wc -l $1 | cut -d " " -f1`
for i in $(seq $nb_lignes)
do
m=`head $1 -n $i | tail -1`
//command
done
Please how can i change it to get Get 20% of lines in File randomly to apply "command" on each line ? 20% or 40% or 60 % (it's a parameter)
Thank you. (15 Replies)

Dear Folks
I have one column of 15000 lines and want to select randomly 5000 of them in five different times without replacement. I am aware that command 'shuf' and 'sort -R' could select randomly those lines but I am not sure how could I avoid the replacement of selection line. Does anyone have... (10 Replies)

CMAP(5) File Formats Manual CMAP(5)NAME
cmap - format of .cmap files (color maps)
DESCRIPTION
Color-map files define the mapping between eight-bit color numbers and red, green and blue intensities used for those numbers. They are
read by Magic as part of system startup, and also by the :load and :save commands in color-map windows. Color-map file names usually have
the form x.y.z.cmapn, where x is a class of technology files, y is a class of displays, z is a class of monitors, and n is a version number
(currently 1). The version number will change in the future if the formap of color-map files ever changes. Normally, x and y correspond to
the corresponding parts of a display styles file. For example, the color map file mos.7bit.std.cmap1 is used today for most nMOS and CMOS
technology files using displays that support at least seven bits of color per pixel and standard-phosphor monitors. It corresponds to the
display styles file mos.7bit.dstyle5.
Color-map files are stored in ASCII form, with each line containing four decimal integers separated by white space. The first three inte-
gers are red, green, and blue intensities, and the fourth field is a color number. For current displays the intensities must be integers
between 0 and 255. The color numbers must increase from line to line, and the last line must have a color number of 255. The red, green,
and blue intensities on the first line are used for all colors from 0 up to and including the color number on that line. For other lines,
the intensities on that line are used for all colors starting one color above the color number on the previous line and continuing up and
through the color number on the current line. For example, consider the color map below:
255 0 0 2
0 0 255 3
255 255 255 256
This color map indicates that colors 0, 1, and 2 are to be red, color 3 is to be blue, and all other colors are to be white.
