Random in texts(strings)

[Juanjoe]

Hi! How do I randomize texts (strings)? I can do it with numbers on the macrodroid. But with variables and lists (arrays) of texts (strings), I don't know yet. The random function works with texts

Randomize the index instead, you can get the size of the array with {size=array name}. The range should be from 0 to {size=array name} - 1

Then call the text with {lv=array name[{lv=index}]}

Hey how's it going? I made an array-type variable with three words: [0]=Hi, [1]=hello, [2]=You, And I would like to display random in a pop-up as a test. What would this example look like? Thank you very much!

your_array_variable[FLOOR(RANDOM()*{size=your_array_variable})]
You could also try something like your_array_variable[{system_time_ms}%{size=your_array_variable}]

Here are two simple examples.

The limitation is that, in this form of Random function, the range can't be set programmatically
