My version of ksh (1993-12-28 q) doesn't seem to have a limit either. I did a test to assign values to a array in a loop. I gave up at 700,000 elements.
ksh seems to be twice as fast than bash to assign array values. So, I pushed my little benchmark a little bit further and I assigned 10,000 values to an array and randomly accessed that array 1000 times.
Code:
bash
real 0m0.623s
user 0m0.500s
sys 0m0.020s
ksh
real 0m0.157s
user 0m0.160s
sys 0m0.000s

Lets say I want to pick a random file when I do an "ls" command. I don't have set number of files in each directory.
ls | head -1
This gives me the first one in each directory, is there a way to do the same but pick a random one. (3 Replies)

Hello,
I want to choose random columns from big file.
for example: My file contain around 21000 columns and I want to randomly extract 4000 columns from this file.
Anybody has a solution (may be one liner or a function in perl or awk) for this?
Thanks,

Need to use dd to generate a large file from a sample file of random data. This is because I don't have /dev/urandom.
I create a named pipe then:
dd if=mynamed.fifo do=myfile.fifo bs=1024 count=1024
but when I cat a file to the fifo that's 1024 random bytes:
cat randomfile.txt >... (7 Replies)

urandom
RANDOM(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual RANDOM(4)NAME
random , urandom -- random data source devices.
SYNOPSIS
pseudo-device random
DESCRIPTION
The random device produces uniformly distributed random byte values of potentially high quality.
To obtain random bytes, open /dev/random for reading and read from it.
The same random data is also available from getentropy(2). Using the getentropy(2) system call interface will provide resiliency to file
descriptor exhaustion, chroot, or sandboxing which can make /dev/random unavailable. Additionally, the arc4random(3) API provides a fast
userspace random number generator built on the random data source and is preferred over directly accessing the system's random device.
/dev/urandom is a compatibility nod to Linux. On Linux, /dev/urandom will produce lower quality output if the entropy pool drains, while
/dev/random will prefer to block and wait for additional entropy to be collected. With Yarrow, this choice and distinction is not necessary,
and the two devices behave identically. You may use either.
The random device implements the Yarrow pseudo random number generator algorithm and maintains its entropy pool. The kernel automatically
seeds the algorithm with additional entropy during normal execution.
