I am preparing a test data which must have different letters say அ-20 times ம-30 times , த-40 times .....( They are UTF-8 coding supported Tamil Languague letters ) this could be achieved using a print statement
{print ( ' ம் ' * 30 ) + ( ' த ' * 40 ) + }
But , I need to scramble them so that they dont appear in any particular order . I have around 230+ letters which I would be printing for 20,30,40 times . And then I need to scramble them and write them to an output file . Any help in this regard be helpful .
Credits to my friend @AswinMurugesh who helped me with the code .
The following code did the trick .
import codecs
import tamil
from random import shuffle
inp_file = codecs.open("/home/sibi/Desktop/scramble.txt",encoding="utf-8")
inp_text = inp_file.read().rstrip()
tamil_letters = tamil.utf8.get_letters(inp_text)
shuffle(tamil_letters)
tamil_letters = "".join(tamil_letters).encode("utf-8")
print tamil_letters
out_file = open('outputscrambled.txt','w')
out_file.write(tamil_letters)
