The script simply takes the
name of a directory and
returns a random file from
within that directory. An
example of its use is
provided by means of
script to play the
game Scissors/Paper/Stone.
For a live use of this
application, the author uses
it to simply manage links
from his site, it's quick
and easy to add, amend and
delete the html link code
into files in several
directories, and keep thus
the links separate from the
html formatting of the page.
Once a random filename has
been selected, the uses of
it are vast, as in the
example the contents of the
file can be displayed or
parsed, or for an image file
the contents could be
displayed via an IMG tag.
