randomiser

randomiser

For some bizarre reason, the mp3 player built into my car doesn't have a shuffle function, so I've built this little app to force a random sort order on a dir.

The app scans the supplied dir into a slice, then picks elements at random to be inserted into a second slice with an index number. The user is prompted to confirm they approve of the new filenames, before all the files are renamed.

usage

randomiser <relative/or/absolute/path/to/the/dir>
