    Batch command to include random line from file?


    Hello,

    i was wondering if i can include random line from file into a Windows 10 batch script command.
    Command is:
    and instead of "Computer%RANDOM%" i would like to input random line from file C:\names.txt
    I have found Batch tool to fetch unique random line(s) from a text file

    Initial question is in this thread.

    :)
