Hello, I am working on a playlist managment program in perl - I need a way to shuffle the playlist - the playlist format is very simple - one filename on each line.
Each file name is a reletive path, i.e: folder1/file1.mp3 folder2/file2.mp3 If possible I would like the file to be shuffled so that whenever possible, there are no 2 files from the same folder next to each other. In the origional file, pre-shuffling, the files are sorted into folders, i.e: folder1/file1.mp3 folder1/file2.mp3 folder2/file3.mp3 ...... It would be an adequate solution to just cycle through all the folders, like: folder1/file1.mp3 folder2/file1.mp3 folder3/file1.mp3 folder1/file2.mp3 ....... Thanks very much for any help with this. -- Dave All us base are belong to you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
