Data files - how to read random line?

[Exhonour]

Like i got a list of stuff and I want a random one inputted, how do i do this?

I can't imagine that your data file is all that large. The best way is probably to read it all in to a data structure such as an arraylist, and then extract your line. Either that or read the file line by line until you get to the line of interest.

Not that its large, its cuz I need to pick up a random puzzle/category for hangman assignment.

But putting it into array list is a good idea cant believe I didnt think of that... Too late now, class ending in few mins and exams tommorow for the rest of the week.

O well
