Randomly fetch one item from a list without repetitions across multiple command calls

[Ambassador]

hi i have over 1000 items in a list like

abcd;
efgh;
ijklm;

but the same item appears more often
here is my code

$(eval x = $(urlfetch json https://pastebin.com/raw/xxxx).split(";"); x[Math.floor(Math.random() * x.length)])

thank you

I think, the function you want is not possible.

By the way, I would use $(count) variable. Like this…

First create an array [`item1`, `item2`, `item3`, ... `item1000`] in your pastebin.

$(eval x=$(urlfetch json https://pastebin.com/raw/XXXXXX); x[$(count)])

Well it will give error if you use the command over 1000. But, for first 1000 calls, it will work fine and will return unique item.

I hope this will work

Hey @Ambassador!

Your code is correct, don’t change anything, each item is selected at random, having an item show up more often than the others is a regular behavior/impression when using true randomness.
You can read examples of this here or here.

The command @Ritik_Ranjan gave you is the exact same as yours and won’t fix the issue.
