reADDer

A Python script which randomly chooses and prints a file from a directory.

Set-Up:

  1. Open reADDer.py in a text editor and change /YOUR/PATH/HERE/ in path = /YOUR/PATH/HERE/reADDer/text/ on line 5 to the directory where you saved reADDer.
  2. reADDER.py will select files from /reADDer/text/. It's prefilled with 274 ASCII art text files as examples. Feel free to delete any or all of them and copy your own to this directory.

ToDo:

  • A better way to set the directory from which reADDer chooses files
  • Limit to only text files
  • Sub-directory support for better organization
  • Stripping of unrecognized characters
  • Text formatting including saving text from the chosen file as of list of each line rather than a single string containing the file's entire text
  • Other fun stuff with words (a text rearranger/jumbler maybe?)
