Ruby tom-lord/regexp-examples: Generate strings that match a given regular expression

How to run Cli

>python .\generator_cli.py

Example Generate random ip address

>python .\generator_cli.py “[1-255].[1-255].[1-255].[1-255]”

returns

Result: [1-255].[1-255].[1-255].[1-255] => 38.161.154.251

example strings can be generated using simplified regex*

combine multiple           : [acb][123][X-Z]                 => a2X
escaped , () and []        : [\,\(\[][123][X-Z]              => \3Z
IP address                 : [1-255].[1-255].[1-255].[1-255] => 252.249.168.79

*not really actually regex its just a few functions i created to mimic regex functionality

TODO

fix phone number & imbeding

”([1-9][1-9][1-9])-([1-9][1-9][1-9])” does not work

• convert into python package

```
