Programme Purpose : Given a text file containing N lines,

    return a new file which has reorder those lines in random order.

    This has many utilities e.g. in memorizing a list of vocabulary.

Input: File1.text :

    >a

    >b

    >c

Output: File2.text : Random ordering

    >c

    >a

    >b
