Tool usage guide
Randomize Text Lines is a straightforward utility designed to instantly shuffle the order of lines in any text block, making it ideal for creating randomized lists, testing data, or reordering content without manual effort.
Background
A teacher has a list of 20 quiz questions and wants to create three different versions of the quiz to prevent students from sharing answers.
Problem
Manually reordering the questions is tedious and prone to human error.
How to use
Paste the list of questions into the input area and click randomize.
Outcome
The tool outputs the same 20 questions in a completely new, randomized order.
Background
A developer needs to test a UI component that displays a list of user names, ensuring the layout remains stable regardless of the order.
Problem
The original list is sorted alphabetically, which doesn't reflect real-world usage.
How to use
Paste the list of names, enable 'Trim Lines' to ensure clean formatting, and click randomize.
trimLines: trueOutcome
Yes, simply enable the 'Preserve Empty Lines' checkbox to ensure blank lines remain fixed while other content is shuffled.
If you enable the 'Trim Lines' option, the tool will automatically remove leading and trailing whitespace from every line.
Enter a specific number in the 'Random Seed' field. Using the same seed with the same input will always produce the exact same shuffled output.
The tool is designed for standard text processing; for extremely large files, ensure your browser has sufficient memory to handle the input.
No, all processing happens locally in your browser, and your text is not uploaded or stored on any server.
A shuffled list of names is generated, ready to be pasted into the application's test environment.
