What class/object is holding the Strings?
If an array, use one of the Random class or the Math.random() method to generate a number from 0 to the size-1 of the array.

Norms idea is the best way if you are going to be using an array. Here is a quick example for you:
public class RandomString { /** * JavaProgrammingForums.com */ public static void main(String[] args) { int rand = (int) (Math.random()*4); String[] array = new String[4]; array[0] = "Java"; array[1] = "Programming"; array[2] = "Forums"; array[3] = ".com"; System.out.println(array[rand]); } }
