Is it possible to random a number between 0- 10
but without repeating the same number until all the 11 numbers have finished?

It took me 30 seconds to search this forum for the word "random" to find the answer.
The search function on this forum is very useful and might save you a lot of time waiting for an answer.

There are many people here who could answer your latest question, but it is better for you to take responsibility for your own learning and put some time and energy into developing your skills and expertise.

Last year I wrote a few Opus script lessons for beginners.

Chapter four uses random script commands to select pages.

I recommend you begin with chapter 1 and work your way towards chapter four because Chapter 4 assumes you have knowledge and expertise from chapters 1 to 3.

Hi OpusLover,

Not sure what your level of scripting ability is. I've included a publication that only displays your randomised list.

Have a play and see if this can be adapted for your needs.

I really don't know what to say to you. You saved 1000 hours of hard working and gave me the chance to complete my prog.
Thanksssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

I have two more Questions.
1. I found that you sometimes don't declare the variable and it shows <myMaxNUmber> in the text file .How this be done?
2. If I have INI file and there are many lines in this file.
What is the script to count the number of the lines.
I really tried GetLIneCount() but it doesn't work or I don't know how to use it.I tried like this:

var sectionData = GetINISectionData("C:\\try1.ini", "Names")

var lines=sectionData.GetLineCount()

Am I on the right track or Not?

Hi OpusLover,

That's OK.

I don't get what your asking for Q1.

Q2 won't work. That command is for use on text objects not text files as far as I know.

To read all the lines from a file, you'd need to set up a loop and read each line incrementing the counter each time until the end of the file is reach. I don't think there is a specific INI command for this, but the standard readline command for files should work.

Anyway Thanks for your reply.
Forget about the first Q.
The second one is very important to me.
I can do it but not with script you can try it
I make abutton then add action
Actions>Text>Count Lines
It works fine
and it reads only from "names" in INI
but I want to do the same action with script.

Sorry OpusLover,

misunderstood what you were trying to do. Still won't work. That command is for text objects and you are trying to use it on a text variable.

I would use the following;

var sectionData = GetINISectionData("C:\\1.ini", "names")
var myArray = sectionData.split(String.fromCharCode(10))
var lines = myArray.length - 1
Debug.trace(lines)

This basically converts the string in sectionData to an array and counts the number of cells.

Thankssssss again Mackavi
That's what I want exactly.
Great Help
