Call Different Task Based on their Percentage

[raihan26]

    Task1, X% 
    Task2, Y%
    Task3, Z%
    ----
    TaskN, N%

    And X + Y + Z + . . .  + N = 100%

Question:- The above Config File have some type of weighing to Different Tasks (execute Task1 X% of the time, execute Task2 Y% of the time and execute Task3 Z% of the time and etc etc. Total weighing should add up to 100%.

Code that I wrote:- I wrote a program in which I am reading the files line by line and stored all the lines in the ArrayList of String, and then I generated some random number between 1 and 100. So for example there are three Tasks-

Task1 75%
    Task2 15%
    Task3 10%

Get a random number between 1-100. If the number is 1-75 do Task1, 76-90 do Task2, 91-100 do Task3. But how I can expand this for any Config File having N Tasks with any percentage number. I am stuck on this part.

private static Random r = new Random();
    	            private final static int Low = 1;
    	            private final static int High = 100;
                    String sCurrentLine;
                    ArrayList<Integer> percentageCalls = new ArrayList<Integer>();
        
        			br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("S:\\config.txt"));
        			
                    int R = r.nextInt(High-Low) + Low;
        			
        			ArrayList<List<String>> allLines = new ArrayList<List<String>>();
        			while ((sCurrentLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
        				allLines.add(Arrays.asList(sCurrentLine.split("\\s+")));
        				Collections.shuffle(allLines);
        			}
        			
        			for (List<String> s1 : allLines) {
        				percentageCalls.add(Integer.parseInt(s1.get(0)));
        			}
        			Collections.sort(percentageCalls, Collections.reverseOrder());

Hi Fubarable, Any suggestion will be appreciated on my question.

I recommend being forthright up front with crossposting...think of it from our perspective - we do this unpaid, in our spare and valuable time...what a slap in the face it is to find we spent our time trying to answer a question that has been answered (or even discussed) elsewhere. Given this, you shouldn't be surprised when a cross post is found by someone other than the original poster and activity and comments on your post(s) (at least those productive to you) diminish to zero.
