Sampler
The
Sampler is used to produce a
sample of a large list according to the options you indicate.
To
get a sample you need specify your large list as the input file, define
the output file, set the necessary processing
mode and click “Go”.
Processing
modes
Using
the Sampler you can choose one
of the following processing modes:
Select
every Nth address starting at address: Select this mode if you just
need to pick every N-th address from your input list. You can also specify
the address to start from. There are two ways to indicate the starting
address: either with its ordinal number (e. g. 2, 12, etc.) or just by
naming it (e. g. lisa@aol.com).
Random
sample of N addresses: Select this mode if you need to get a random
sample of a certain number of addresses (N) from your input list. No
duplicates will be present in the sample.
Pick
a consecutive block of N addresses starting at address:
Select this
mode if you need to get N successive addresses from your input list,
starting with a certain one. Like in the 1st processing mode,
there are two ways to indicate the starting address: either with its
ordinal number or with its name.
