It seems to me that everyone is being too complicated. What about:

sort lines of vChooseFrom by random(10000) -- or some suitably big number
return line 1 to vNumToChoose of vChooseFrom

Ok, I believe I need to give some more info on this subject.

VChooseFrom is a list containing numbers:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
and so on...

VNumToChoose contains the number of lines to randomly select from
VChooseFrom:
5

How do I pick randomly five lines out of vChooseFrom, putting them into
vSelected:
10
7
9
12
1

If "1" is not in vSelected then put "1" and cr after vSelected won't work
because "1" is in "10" and in "12"


I hate these "small" problems, they take up so many time :-((

Warm regards,

Ton Kuypers
