Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Random Line Picker work?

The Random Line Picker uses a cryptographically secure random number generator to select lines from your input. Simply enter your text with each option on a separate line, specify how many items you want to pick, and the tool will randomly select from all non-empty lines with equal probability.

Is the selection truly random?

Yes, the selection uses Python's random module which provides pseudo-random number generation suitable for most applications. Each non-empty line has an equal probability of being selected, ensuring fair and unbiased results.

Can I pick multiple random items at once?

Yes, you can specify how many random lines you want to pick, from 1 up to 100 items. If you enable the "No Duplicates" option, each item will only be selected once. Otherwise, the same line may be picked multiple times.

What can I use the Random Line Picker for?
