Lets say I have 200 folders on a drive. The drive letter is M:
The folder names start with
Clothing, <name>
Scene, <name>
Footwear, <name>
Pose, <name>
Hair, <name>
I would like to be able to do a random search of Driver letter M, for particular folders whose names begins with Clothing, ? and have Eveything select any five folders with the beginning name of Clothing return a list of five names, or 10 folders to give me a live of 10 names, or 25 folders to give me a list of 25 names.
The key is letting me put in a number for random and it returns a list meeting the criteria of whatever the random number entered. Or maybe give me a random selection for each of the folder names listed above. Is something like this possible. A real life situation would be for a project, I would need a random selection from each of the categories listed above and using whatever the results are from Everything I could use those folders as a starting point for my project.
Can Everything do a random selection of the criteria entered.
Re: Can Everything do a random selection of the criteria entered.
No.
But you could find the names with Everything.
Export the names to some other format; .txt, .csv.
Then use that data in your "randomizer engine".
Maybe start with grep's to narrow down your selections, piped to How can I randomize the lines in a file using standard tools on Red Hat Linux?
