Reggenerator

Generate random string based on supplied regex

Quick start

Lib

go get github.com/toncek345/reggenerator
Import and call Generate(regex string, count int).

If the random generation function is not being changed, rand.Int will be used.
Seeding with rand.Seed(time.Now().UnixNano()) is then recommended.

How to change the random number generation

reggenerator.RandFn = randomFn
---
reggenerator.RandFn = func() int { return X }

Standalone

go install github.com/toncek345/reggenerator/[email protected]

> reggenerator --help
Usage of cmd:
  -count int
