Hi,

Name the files with a sequential name ex. file_1, file_2, file_3, file_4, file_5, etc..
Open the file by adding the prefix of the name "file_" to a Random value between 1 and your max file number.
The function "readline" gives you a list of string, each string is a line of your text file.
Show the list content in any graphic way that you can control with gesture and check them with an array of "position" (that is your solution).

thank you for answer. could you explane by example? for example if we have names of months: January , February, march ... in one file (file_1) and name of week in another (file_2 ) how can i use "readline" to randomly choose one of file_1 or file_2 then randomly sort name of moth (1. march 2. september 2. july ...) or randomly sort content of file_2 (1- Sunday 2- Saturday... )?
