If you're using Mac's software aText for text expansion you will probably like this little snippet.
You have to create it as a Shell Script and it allows you to print a random message every time you expand it.
#!/bin/sh
# Keep this updated when you add or take away quotes on the case list
num_greetings=4
# Generate a random quote number variable, 'rand'
rand=$[ ( $RANDOM % $num_greetings ) + 1 ]
case $rand in #BEGIN CASE
1) greeting="Hello, how may I help you?";;
2) greeting="Hi, how can I help you?";;
3) greeting="Hello, how can I help you?";;
4) greeting="Hello, what can I do for you?";;
esac # END CASE
# Display the random quote from case statement, and format it to line wrap at 80 characters
echo $greeting
Code language: PHP (php)

Hey Rodrigo,
I don’t know, you should probably ask the developer of the app. Here’s a screenshot of my snippet, make sure to select “content Shell Script”
Hope this helps!
