I have a simple request for help on coding a script to Shuffle a list of Email:Pass format.

Unsure if posting links is allowed but for reference, exactly what this site does.

PM me if you don't mind helping, can pay if needed.

Cheers lads. 👍

I think Bash is better tool for this job:

Code

cat input.txt | shuf > output.txt

Stupid Python one-liner:

Code

cat input.txt | python -c "import sys,random; print(''.join(sorted(sys.stdin.readlines(), key=lambda k: random.random())))" > output.txt

Good suggestion, your `.readlines()` will still take in the `\n` so you might want to do a `.read()` and `.striplines()` like in my example.

Nope, by using ''.join() instead of '\n'.join() I can join the elements as-is, that is, with each of them already suffixed by '\n' due to readlines(), so, I don't have to add them during the .join().

I think the only change between our 2 examples is that I print an extra newline which technically is more wrong :-)

The last line of the input file might not have a newline, this is why you want to clean up user input by stripping newlines and add them in later.

Do you want to shuffle the positions of the email:pass lines or do you want to shuffle the emails with different passwords?

edit:

pretty sure something like this will do the trick

Code

import random

lines = open('input.txt').read().splitlines()
random.shuffle(lines)

with open('output.txt', 'w') as f:
   f.write('\n'.join(lines))

print('%s lines shuffled.' % len(lines))

Just the positions, same email:pass. This worked great, thank you very much mate.

If you're going to use this in production I would use the Bash command. It is more performant and less code.

Code

cat input.txt | shuf > output.txt
