now try

import random bored = [] with open("file.txt", "r") as fin: www = fin.read() for string in www.split('\n'): bored.append(string) chance = random.choice(bored) print(chance)

or so

 import random print(random.choice(open('file.txt', 'r').read().splitlines()))

    split('\n') bad idea - text files do not always have a line delimiter \n , maybe \r\n , so just do bored = fin.splitlines() , well, after chance = random.choice(bored) or immediately chance = random.choice(fin.splitlines()) - gil9red pm
  • Mona and so do - Wertartem
  • It is possible, but I would prefer to close the file on the spot (through with ) :) Fst, 'r' can be omitted, since reading mode and so default :) - gil9red
  • super. all perfectly. I think WestSide will be pleased. Thank you for pointing the way :) - Wertartem

Read lines to list:

 with open('file.txt') as fp: lines = fp.readlines()

then use it

 print(lines[i])
