I have a document which has about a hundred lines. Every line

which should contain twenty-five lines picked at random from the
original document, so that I can test my students on irregular
verbs giving each of them a different test. Is there a way of doing
it automatically?
Sure. there's probably a thousand ways to do it automatically.
I'd do it with a php/html document myself, but perl would work (as
would anny scripting language)
Again, is there a way of doing it in a few clicks?
In a few clicks? No, you will need a script of some form to process
the source data, select random lines, and then select a random
element to display.
Pretty much any time you need to apply logic BBEdit alone is not
going to do it, you'll need a program, albeit a fairly short and
simple one.
