This is an old message (I was away). Did this ever get answered to your satisfaction? I do this sort of thing all the time and the easiest way for me is to just sort the list by random, then take the top 5.How do I pick randomly five lines out of vChooseFrom, putting them into vSelected:
sort lines of vChooseFrom by random(1000)
put lines 1 to 5 of vChooseFrom into vSelected
That way, you know you do not have repeats (so long as the original list, vChooseFrom, does not have repeats).
