shuffle1
Randomly reorder lines in a file
Usage
shuffle [infile
[outfile]]
Overview
shuffle reads infile into memory, shuffles the lines, and writes the result to outfile.
Options
None.
Operands
The following operands are supported:
- infile
-
A path name of an input file. If no infile is specified, or if infile is equal to "-", the standard input is used.
- outfile

A path name of an output file. If no outfile is specified, or if outfile is equal to "-", the standard output is used.
Notes
Since shuffle reads the input into memory, it may fail on very large files.
