How can i make a script that will choose a random line of text from pastebin?
Basically, I want to be able to make it print a random line from a pastebin; for example:
Pastebin
we are number 1 yes we are winning oh my goodness!
NO I DO NOT WANT A METHOD USING LUA INSTEAD.
Current Code
local url = "http://pastebin.com/raw/myepicpaste"
local pastebinText = game:GetService("HttpService"):GetAsync(url, true) --the "true" as 2nd argument is to prevent it from caching the response, although I guess its not necessary here
local key = Random(pastebinText)
print(key)
return key == pastebinText
Not Working

pastebinText is an entire string of the pastebin content. If you want each line, you'll have to tell it to. Use gmatch to get each line and put that line in a table, then index a random position of the table to retrieve a random line. The pattern could be as follows: "(%w+)[\n\r]?" which means 'one or more sequential valid characters until an optional line break'. pidgey 548 — 4y
