I am hosting a war3 Tourny and need a program that can take a list of maps and randomlly spit one out. The problem is I have no idea how to do this, I assume it has something to do with arrays but for the most part I am clueless. Can someone please help me?

You can use Dir to get the filename of each map in the maps folder while loading them into a string array. When finished, you can then use the formula Int((upperbound - lowerbound + 1) * Rnd + lowerbound) to pick out a random map filename from the string array. upperbound being UBound result and lowerbound being LBound result of the string array.

[code]
Public Sub GetMap()
Dim Random As Integer
Dim Maps As String
Dim count As Integer
Dim Pick As String
Maps = Dir(App.Path & "/maps.txt")

Open Maps For Input As #1
Do
Input #1, Pick
count = count + 1
Loop Until EOF(1)
Close #1

Randomize
Random = (Rnd * count) - 1
If Random <> 1 Then
Random = Random - 1
End If
Open Maps For Input As #1
Do
Line Input #1, Pick
Random = Random - 1
Loop While Random <> 0
Form1.Text1.Text = "Use " & Pick

End Sub
[/code]

It picks the first map on the list -_-

Did you listen to a word Spht said? He even gave you the random selection formula.
