[james27]

i have two text file

one is a.txt and another is b.txt

content of a.txt is

a
b
c
d

content of b.txt is

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

i want to process each a.txt line to random range of b.txt lines.

for instance.

    for each aa as String in a.txt
    
		for bb as integer = 0 to b.txt.count - 1
     

		end for
    
    end for

so what i want to get result is like this one

each a.txt line to random range of b.txt lines


a12
b3456
c789

Create a Random object and then, each time you want a random number, call its Next method. It's the same regardless of what you intend to use the random number for. Of course, you're going to have to apply some appropriate limits or you'll get all lines in the second file associated with the first line in the first file more often than not. As for what those limits should be, that's nothing to do with programming because they would be the same as the limits you would use if you were doing the whole thing with pen and paper.

if you give me some more specific snippet or reference it would be very helpful for me.

Why exactly a hopeful programmer needs to be shown how to do a web search, I'm not sure, but here's your reference anyway:
