Untested, and probably rather slow on very long lists:
sourceList would be a list such as the example you gave.
function makePlayList sourceList
repeat until sourceList is empty
put random(the number of lines in sourceList) into nextLine
put word 1 of line nextLine of sourceList & cr after playList
subtract 1 from word -1 of line nextLine of sourceList
if word -1 of line nextLine of sourceList = 0 then delete line
nextLine of sourceList
end repeat
return char 1 to -2 of playlist
end makePlayList
cheers,

I am stumped...argh.
I have a list of short movie files, the movies are to be played in
rotation.
Each movie followed by a tab and then a number. The number is the
number of
times it is to be placed (repeated) in the list (shown in a rotation).
0099ts2729bs.mov 5
0085ts1316bs.mov 1
0091ts0918bs.mov 2
0077ts0913bs.mov 1
0032ts2930bs.mov 3
0089ts2126bs.mov 1
0075ts0919bl.mov 1
0076ts0919br.mov 4
0001ts0313bs.mov 1
The real list will probably be close to 100 different movies, I am
using
the list shown above as an example. Each movie will be played somewhere
between 1 to 5 times in the rotation.
Ideally I would like to have all repeated movies separated as much as
possible
so they do not play (repeat) too closely in the rotation. In other
words it would
be nice if repeated movies are spaced as far apart as possible.
I need a script which will take such a list as shown above and then
provide me with a rotation list as described.
Any ideas on how to do this?
ciao & thanks,
sims
