What problems did you encounter with the default randomseed?
When using randsomseed, closing the program & removing from memory, then restarting the stack I'd get the same repeated line using randomseed or using any line. Both on OSX 10.93 and Windows 7 (vmware). Anytime my stack is called I'd like it truly random. Not a repeat of the same sequence.
Do you get a better result if you just leave the randomSeed alone?

No. Wish I did.

Hey Shawn,
I just tested "put any line" of a 10k line text document, and it seems to be pretty random. I close the stack and open it again, and I get a different set of results. Check this Super simple stack that references a 10,000 line txt doc on my google drive:
It seems to be working fine on my end.
It's just one button and one field, with this as the button script:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
put url "https://9f3842e07d8c6feae8cc3e01e8f91f10f3587794.googledrive.com/host/0B9myvEGzDKvCOWVEYlVoYUJpWms/myData.txt" into tText
put any line of tText &cr after fld 1
end mouseUp

So am I understanding correctly that put any line (LC) uses a randomseed automatically at launch, BUT you can specify a randomseed if you want? Definitely, seems to be working.

I believe this is indeed the case.

Thanks sefrojones. Very much appreciated.
I'm sure one of the veterans will chime in. That's what I gather too.
