This generates random text based on files. The first file contains the frequencies of symbols, the second file contains the frequencies of word lengths. A symbol can be any sequence of non-whitespace characters (including 1 character).
A symbol file contains two columns, where the symbol is in the first, and it's frequency is in the second:
a 122
b 45
c 78
hi 35
The frequency column contains the 'weight' of the symbol - how much more likely it is to be selected compared to the rest.
A length file follows the same rules as the symbol file, but the two columns must contain digits (first columng is length, second is its relative frequency).
There is 1 length file and 3 symbol files if the 'file' directory.
The length frequencies in the length file are based off of this study of word length frequencies in English text.
Here are some sample results using that length file with the symbol files:

There are two source files: Main.java and Generator.java.
The Generator is responsible for loading the files and creating the randomized text.
You can edit the input symbol and length file in Main.java.
compile contains the command to compile the program (which is just compiling two files).
run contains the command to run the program.
output.txt - contains the output text (which is also printed out to stdout).
