Ok I have three variable stringlists

phrasea
phraseb
phrasec

Each stringlist has about 20 or so lines
kinda like the random phrase thing in this forum somwhere....




%concat( %item( @phraseA, %random( 1, %numitems( @phraseA))), " ", %item( @phraseB, %random( 1, %numitems( @phraseB))), " ", %item( @phraseC, %random( 1, %numitems( @phraseC))))

Is there any way to make it say every possible combination without duplicating any

This is what I would do:

Generate a list of all phrases into a list.
Generate a randowm number from 1 to n.
Retrieve nth item from the list.
Display it.
Delete nth Item from list.

To spam them all you can use:




#LOOP 1,%numitems(@phraseA) {


  #VAR V_SpamA_i %i


  #LOOP 1,%numitems(@phraseB) {


    #VAR V_SpamB_i %i


    #LOOP 1,%numitems(@phraseC) {


      say %item(@phraseA,@V_SpamA_i) %item(@phraseB,@V_SpamB_i) %item(@phraseC,%i) 


      }


    }


  }

If you want to have them come out one at a time that takes more thinking and coffee.
