I am trying to find a way to generate random numbers within a shell script.
Does Solaris have a utility that will generate random numbers?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I have a tab separated file, and one of the fields is sub-delimited by colon. The problem is there can be zero to 4 colons within this field. When I try to change colons to tabs the result is a file with a differing number of fields.
I want to go from:

Hi,
Do anybody knows how to use awk or any command to random print out 1000 number which start from range 1 to 150000?
I know that "rand" in awk can do similar random selection.
But I have no idea how to write a code that can random pick 1000 number from range 1 to 150000 :confused:

seq
SEQ(1) User Commands SEQ(1)NAME
seq - print a sequence of numbers
SYNOPSIS
seq [OPTION]... LAST
seq [OPTION]... FIRST LAST
seq [OPTION]... FIRST INCREMENT LAST
DESCRIPTION
Print numbers from FIRST to LAST, in steps of INCREMENT.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-f, --format=FORMAT
use printf style floating-point FORMAT
-s, --separator=STRING
use STRING to separate numbers (default:
)
-w, --equal-width
equalize width by padding with leading zeroes
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
If FIRST or INCREMENT is omitted, it defaults to 1. That is, an omitted INCREMENT defaults to 1 even when LAST is smaller than FIRST. The
sequence of numbers ends when the sum of the current number and INCREMENT would become greater than LAST. FIRST, INCREMENT, and LAST are
interpreted as floating point values. INCREMENT is usually positive if FIRST is smaller than LAST, and INCREMENT is usually negative if
FIRST is greater than LAST. FORMAT must be suitable for printing one argument of type 'double'; it defaults to %.PRECf if FIRST, INCRE-
MENT, and LAST are all fixed point decimal numbers with maximum precision PREC, and to %g otherwise.
