GR Random Line Picker : Let this simple application select a specified number of random lines from any given text and display them in the designated area
GR Random Line Picker is a lightweight program that can instantly select random lines from any input text, duplicate and display them in a separate area. The program is easy to use and allows you to quickly copy pieces of text from or to the clipboard. Moreover, the tool allows you to freely modify the text before processing it.
Extract random lines from any text
GR Random Line Picker allows you to extract several lines from various locations in the input text and view them in a separate area. It is suitable, for instance, for users who wish to verify a text for plagiarism or to simply extract a piece of the text. The selection algorithm is completely random.The program requires that you choose the number of lines that you wish to extract from the source text. Importing the lines can be performed by copying the contents of the clipboard or by loading a .TXT file.
Identifying lines for selection
GR Random Line Picker selects the lines for display purely based on the layout of the text. This strategy is not very strong, since the structure of the text and the number of the lines varies based on the size of the window. A graphic detail is enough to influence the functionality of this program.Therefore, if the window is small, the number of lines increases and the tool could pick pieces of text that were not available in the first place. Enlarging the window again can cause the non-existent lines to be converted in duplicates of the original rows.
Exporting the selected lines
GR Random Line Picker can save the results to a local .TXT file or copy the lines back to the clipboard. Both the source and the results areas feature text editing tools that enable you to make the required modifications before selecting the lines or exporting them. The program allows you to cut, copy, paste or delete the selected pieces of text.
