I'm not 100% sure the existing regex helper tools don't do this, and i suspect this may not be at all simple, but i'd love to see a little utilitity that could take a regular expression and generates some random test strings that match it. It would be extremely useful i think.
Anyone know of such a tool or want to give it a try?
tinjaw:
Hmm, that sounds like a really good way to get a handle on regular expressions. What better way to learn then to code them? Hmm.
[Tinjaw checks his schedule and ToDo list]
Hmm
Ruffnekk:
Wow nice idea! I wonder if it's feasible though... *crunch crunch* :Thmbsup:
Dr-Leech:
Nice idea. It's a pretty nice way to learn and play with RegExp. I always thought about something like it when creating a pattern
cthorpe:
I would love something like that. I've always had a hard time getting my head around regexp. I use them when necessary, but I always have to look at example after example and attempt to cobble a usable expression out of them. Definately takes much longer than it should. The problem is, when I try one that doesn't work as expected, I don't always know why. If I had a way to see what the "wrong" expression returned, it would be easier to learn from my mistakes.
And if I could learn regexp...
