Picking a random line from a text file to clipboard

Post by 6badboy9 »

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to add a line that picks a random line from a list or text file and copy it to clipboard? I am really noobie to coding, I would appreciate if someone could help me with this if its even possible, Thanks.

Code: Select all

file_= "C:/temp/rnd/fichier.txt"

Hello again, i have found a lil issue when running in ubuntu, doesnt occur on windows, it copies nothing on last line even tho there is a text on that line, for example on this screenshot I have added shows that line 5 comes empty, would appreciate if you can find any workaround for this, Thanks alot already for the code.
