Comments on: How to get random numbers into Yahoo Pipes? https://grey-panther.net/2009/02/how-to-get-random-numbers-into-yahoo-pipes.html Just another WordPress site Mon, 27 Jul 2009 12:24:53 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9 By: Cd-MaN https://grey-panther.net/2009/02/how-to-get-random-numbers-into-yahoo-pipes.html#comment-322 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 12:24:53 +0000 https://grey-panther.net/?p=426#comment-322 @meeble: there isn't an option to output the results on random.org as a CSV file, but if you go to advanced mode and select "Format 1 column(s)" and "As a bare-bones text document (type text/plain)", it resembles a CSV file close-enough so that the CSV loader from Yahoo Pipes doesn't complain.

As for joining two data sources (the random data and the feed), I don't have a solution at the moment (it is something I'm still researching). One idea would be to use YQL with the pipe, however I didn't researched that option, so I can't say for sure if it will work.

Regards.

Also, your example creates a feed of sorts – how would i go about using those random numbers to modify my other feed items – like sorting feed items by random number?

thanks
