Free42: Random Word Picker

[Thomas Okken]

There are no files, but matrices will do the job nicely, considering the six-character string length limit of the HP-42S no longer applies in Free42.

You can just put each word list in a text file, one word per line. Copy the text and paste it into Free42, and presto, you have a Nx1 matrix, with one row for each line in the text.

With a list stored under the name LIST, you can select a random element from it as follows:

01 INDEX "LIST"
02 RCL "LIST"
03 DIM?
