Ok. Here’s what I have. I’ve got a couple of folders with some 30,000 text files.I want to both randomly generate a list of 3,000 of these files.Then I want to somehow automatically take the text files on this list and place them into another file, preferably copying them.I know how to generate a random list using something like Excel, or SPSS, or Stata.What I don’t know how to do is automatically put them into a file as opposed to moving them there manually.Any suggestions?  I’ve got a mac, and I was figuring that maybe automator might work, but I don’t know.
