Explanation
Sorting lines is easy: everybody knows the sort
command.
But what if you want to do the other way around?
The above perl
one-liner does just that:
-MList::Util
load the List::Util
module (as if doing use List::Util
inside a Perl script)
-e '...'
execute Perl command
print List::Util::shuffle <>
call List::Util::shuffle
for the lines coming from standard input, read by <>
Another way would be sort -R
if your version supports that (GNU, as opposed to BSD). In BSD systems you can install coreutils
and try gsort -R
instead. (For eample on OSX, using MacPorts: sudo port install coreutils
.)
