Hey! Hope someone can help...
If I have a text file loaded in a Rich Edit object that reads: (as an example)
Apples are nice. Apples are good. Apples are great.
How can I have only one sentance like: Apples are nice/great/good and have nice/great/good be selected at random?
So, in the program, I would either see: Apples are nice. OR Apples are great. OR Apples are good at random.
Thank you in advance!

The easiest way would be to use a List object (untick "1-based index").
If you put each word/phrase on a new line, you can just pick a random line to display:
DisplayText = List Line Text$( "List", Random(List Nb Lines( "List" )))
Alternatively, you can add delimiters (characters which define the start/end of substrings or "tokens" within a longer string), and use one of the many tokenizing extensions:
MyString = "Apples are nice.|Apples are good.|Apples are great."
DisplayText = GetToken$( "Quick Token Object", MyString, "|",Random(GetNumberToken( "Quick Token Object", MyString, "|")))
