You can use another array to track which elements have been used. Or better yet just use a multi-dimensional array to add the extra information.

+ Code Snippet

randomize timer()

dim Tex$(15)
dim Used(15)

for t=0 to 15
 Tex$(t)="String #"+str$(t)
next t

do

 a=rnd(15)

 if Used(a)=0
  print Tex$(a)
  Used(a)=1
  inc Total
  if Total=16 then exit
 endif

loop
wait key
