interesting results, now that i commented out the line you specified, i do
indeed get the same no. of items as in the source list, however, some of the
items are being reselected over and over again, for eaxmple, if the original
file has 1 instance of 'the', the resultant might have 3!
what i would like:
to have 0 or 1 instances of any item as it exists in the source
so, for examaple, if the source had 25 items, then the result could have 19,
all 19 representing a single occurence of that item in the list, and the
other 6 being randomly left out
another generation might yield 25 of 25, it is all random, if the list
contained te word 'of' 5 times, then in this case 'of' would return 5 times
thanks again
