| Description: |
| Thanks so much for script 1154. I would like to add the option to randomly delete x lines within a specified range only as per the example below. The example shows only a small line range and it should work on a large range, e.g. between lines 1 and 2,000 etc. also. |
| Input Sample: |
| Input Sample: line 1. aaaaaaaaaaaaa line 2. bbbbbbbbbbb line 3. ccccccccccccc line 4. ddddddddddd line 5. eeeeeeeeeeeee etc. line 10.jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj Remove 2 lines randomly from range of lines 1 to 5 only . Lines after 5 remain. |
| Output Sample: |
| line 2. bbbbbbbbbbb line 3. ccccccccccccc line 4. ddddddddddd etc. line 10.jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj or line 1. aaaaaaaaaaaaa line 4. ddddddddddd line 5. eeeeeeeeeeeee etc. line 10.jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj |
