Quickly select random lines
I have a 100MB file with (I suspect) millions of lines of text in it. I need a way to select 100 random lines and place them in another file. I don't want to spend a lot of time writing a Python script to do this, and I'm not sure how well such a script would operate on such a large file. Does anyone know of a Unix command that could do this? If not, how would you go about this? Thanks.
