This is a fork of https://github.com/nilium/regen.
There are some significant changes from the original code, however:
- Converted from binary release to a library, exposing the
GenStringfunction for reuse. - Switched from
crypto/randto just usingmath/randby default. - Added an option to control of the randomness (using a function whose behavior is similar to rand.Int63n).

Overview ¶
Package regen is a tool to parse and generate random strings from regular expressions.
This is a fork of github.com/nilium/regen.
It provides a function to generate string from regular expressions.
regen works by parsing a regular expression and walking its op tree. It is currently not guaranteed to produce entirely accurate results, but will at least try.
Limitations from upstream:
- Currently, word boundaries are not supported (until I decide how best to randomly insert a word boundary character).
- Using a word boundary op (\b or \B) will currently cause regen to panic.
- In addition, line endings are also poorly supported right now and EOT markers are treated as the end of string generation.

Functions ¶
func GenString ¶
GenString writes a response that should, ideally, be a match for rx to w, and proceeds to do the same for its sub-expressions where applicable. Returns io.EOF if it encounters OpEndText. This may not be entirely correct behavior for OpEndText handling. Otherwise, returns nil.
