I have an array of strings, I want to shuffle the order of the strings.
I found this question but it deals with bash and I'm using fish shell. Is there a way to achieve this?
CodePudding user response:
Using shuf
as with the Bash version, it's a lot cleaner in Fish:
Using $PATH
as an example, since it's a preexisting array of strings:
shuf -e (string collect $PATH)
# or
set random_path (shuf -e (string collect $PATH))
The variable assignment assumes that there are no newlines in the existing array elements.
