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)

imager::color::float
Imager::Color::Float(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Imager::Color::Float(3pm)NAME
Imager::Color::Float - Rough floating point sample color handling
SYNOPSIS
$color = Imager::Color->new($red, $green, $blue);
$color = Imager::Color->new($red, $green, $blue, $alpha);
$color = Imager::Color->new("#C0C0FF"); # html color specification
$color->set($red, $green, $blue);
$color->set($red, $green, $blue, $alpha);
$color->set("#C0C0FF"); # html color specification
($red, $green, $blue, $alpha) = $color->rgba();
@hsv = $color->hsv(); # not implemented but proposed
$color->info();
DESCRIPTION
This module handles creating color objects used by Imager. The idea is that in the future this module will be able to handle color space
calculations as well.
A floating point Imager color consists of up to four components, each in the range 0.0 to 1.0. Unfortunately the meaning of the components
can change depending on the type of image you're dealing with:
o for 3 or 4 channel images the color components are red, green, blue, alpha.
o for 1 or 2 channel images the color components are gray, alpha, with the other two components ignored.
An alpha value of zero is fully transparent, an alpha value of 1.0 is fully opaque.
METHODS
new This creates a color object to pass to functions that need a color argument.
set This changes an already defined color. Note that this does not affect any places where the color has been used previously.
rgba()
This returns the red, green, blue and alpha channels of the color the object contains.
info
Calling info merely dumps the relevant color to the log.
