This is the 100th Etext file presented by Project Gutenberg, and is presented. SERVICE THAT CHARGES FOR DOWNLOAD TIME OR FOR MEMBERSHIP. Will have to do four text files per month: thus upping our productivity from one million. But ah, thought kills me that I am not thought To leap large lengths of miles.

In some situations, a generic file may need to be created for testing purposes. The command below can create a file of the size specified. For example, to test a file system or backup software's ability to detect capacity or files, use this command to create an MP3 file of exactly 100MB.
Create a File of a Specific Size

1. Open a Command Prompt.
2. Type the following command:
   fsutil file createnew

   In its current form, this application offers a few advantages over common shuf-based approaches:

   • On small k, it performs roughly 2.25-2.75x faster than shuf in informal tests on OS X and Linux hosts.
   • It uses much less memory than the usual reservoir sampling approach that stores a pool of sampled elements; instead, sample stores the start positions of sampled lines (8 bytes per line).
   • Using less memory gives sample an advantage over shuf for whole-genome scale files, helping avoid shuf: memory exhausted errors. For instance, a 2 GB allocation would allow a sample size up to ~268M random elements (sampling without replacement).

   The sample tool stores a pool of line positions and makes two passes through the input file. One pass generates the sample of random positions, using a Mersenne Twister to generate uniformly random values, while the second pass uses those positions to print the sample to standard output. To minimize the expense of this second pass, we use mmap routines to gain random access to data in the (regular) input file on both passes.

   The benefit that mmap provided was significant. For comparison purposes, we also add a --cstdio option to test the performance of the use of standard C I/O routines (fseek(), etc.); predictably, this performed worse than the mmap-based approach in all tests, but timing results were about identical with gshuf on OS X and still an average 1.5x improvement over shuf under Linux.

   The sample tool can be used to sample from any text file delimited by newline characters (BED, SAM, VCF, etc.).

   By adding the --preserve-order option, the output sample preserves the input order. For example, when sampling from an input BED file that has been sorted by BEDOPS sort-bed — which applies a lexicographical sort on chromosome names and a numerical sort on start and stop coordinates — the sample will also have the same ordering applied, with a relatively small O(k logk) penalty for a sample of size k.

   By omitting the sample size parameter, the sample tool can shuffle the entire file. This tool can be used to shuffle files that shuf has trouble with; however, it currently operates slower than shuf, where shuf can be used. We recommend use of shuf for shuffling an entire file, or specifying the sample size (up to the line count, if known ahead of time), when possible.

   One downside at this time is that sample does not process a standard input stream; the input must be a regular file.
