Homebrew is interesting for the breadth of choice and for the numerous 
applications that have newer versions that will *never* be updated on macOS 
(the applications stuck in the past ended up that way seemingly because Apple 
wants to avoid GPL 3 licences.)

Also, besides for the command line tools, you also have access to full .app 
applications that are also available as brew packages.

I never used sort -R before, but as I wrote the manual has 2015 as a

upgrade sort for High Sierra.


Would you mind checking the date at the end of the sort man page on

Hey Vlad,

I'm with Sam, although I'd write it slightly differently.

#!/usr/bin/env perl -sw
use List::Util 'shuffle';
print shuffle <>;

The main thing here is to turn on the strict and warnings switches, although 
I've also abbreviated STDIN and used a less formal call to shuffle().

They provide roughly the same functionality as the standard UNIX 
utilities that come with macOS. (Which come from a BSD lineage.) I like 
them because I used Linux for years and get tripped up by the 
differences in the command-line interfaces. If you don’t have this 
problem, then I don’t think there’s a good reason to install the GNU 
versions.


The Perl solution should be fine for your purposes. It will randomize 
correctly (unlike `sort -R`, which actually sorts by an arbitrary, but 
not random, characteristic of the data), and performance should be 
acceptable.

  -n, --numeric-sort  compare according to string numerical 
value

  -r, --reverse   reverse the result of comparisons

Other options:

  -c, --check   check whether input is sorted; do not sort
  -k, --key=POS1[,POS2] start a key at POS1, end it at POS2 (origin 
1)

  -m, --merge   merge already sorted files; do not sort
  -o, --output=FILE write result to FILE instead of standard 
output
  -s, --stable  stabilize sort by disabling last-resort 
comparison

  -S, --buffer-size=SIZEuse SIZE for main memory buffer
  -t, --field-separator=SEP  use SEP instead of non-blank to blank 
transition
  -T, --temporary-directory=DIR  use DIR for temporaries, not $TMPDIR 
or /tmp;
  multiple options specify multiple 
directories

  -u, --unique  with -c, check for strict ordering;
  without -c, output only the first of an 
equal run

  -z, --zero-terminated end lines with 0 byte, not newline
  --help display this help and exit
  --version  output version information and exit

POS is F[.C][OPTS], where F is the field number and C the character 
position

in the field.  OPTS is one or more single-letter ordering options, which
override global ordering options for that key.  If no key is given, use 
the

entire line as the key.

SIZE may be followed by the following multiplicative suffixes:
% 1% of memory, b 1, K 1024 (default), and so on for M, G, T, P, E, Z, 
Y.


With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

*** WARNING ***
The locale specified by the environment affects sort order.
Set LC_ALL=C to get the traditional sort order that uses
native byte values.

Re: How to randomize a list?

2018-01-14 Thread Vlad Ghitulescu 

Hi, Sam!


Thanks for the explanations & reminder (I think Chris was so nice to 
show me this once - because I still have two TextFilters - but I didn't 
use it since then and I've forgot :-((()


It seems that shuf is not there, because everything I've got is this 
error message:


/Application Support/BBEdit/Text Filters/Randomize.sh: line 2: exec: 
shuf: not found


that replace my active list :-)

I'll try it now with sort -R and report the results.


Until next time,
Vlad

Re: How to randomize a list?

2018-01-13 Thread Sam Hathaway 

Make a text filter called Randomize with the contents:

```
#!/bin/sh
exec shuf
```

Text filters go in ~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Text Filters. I 
think they probably have to be executable. Running these command in 
Terminal should do the trick:


```
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/BBEdit
mkdir -p Text\ Filters
cd Test\ Filters
echo -e "#!/bin/sh\necho shuf" > Randomize
chmod +x Randomize
```

You should then see it in the “Apply Text Filter” submenu of the 
“Text” menu.
