1) You might want the files already loaded into an array.
2) Then you do your random select of the file
3) open the file to and slurp in all the data into an array.
4) Do a random on that second array to get the question you
want.
5) display that to the screen
6) Might want to setup some type of iteration count, so when
you go over that it will stop
processing. As it is now, depending on the number of files
entered and the number of records read, will be the number of times you will
do the processing. I don't believe this is what you are really after.
psuedo code:
counter
max
while ( counter < max ) {
pull a random file
open random file and slurp all data into an array
pick a random question out of the slurped file
display question
increment counter ( though you could do that in the while as
counter++
}
Wags ;)
