All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterable

public class Generex
extends Object
implements Iterable

A Java utility class that help generating string values that match a given regular expression.It generate all values that are matched by the Regex, a random value, or you can generate only a specific string based on it's lexicographical order .

Method Detail

getMatchedString

public String getMatchedString(int indexOrder)

Parameters:

indexOrder - ( 1<= indexOrder <=n)

Returns:

The matched string by the given pattern in the given it's order in the sorted list of matched String.
indexOrder between 1 and n where n is the number of matched String.
If indexOrder >= n , return an empty string. if there is an infinite number of String that matches the given Regex, the method throws StackOverflowError

buildStringFromNode

private String buildStringFromNode(Node node,
                                   int indexOrder)

getFirstMatch

public String getFirstMatch()

Returns:

first string in lexicographical order that is matched by the given pattern.

matchedStringsSize

public long matchedStringsSize()

Returns:

the number of strings that are matched by the given pattern.

buildRootNode

private void buildRootNode()

Prepare the rootNode and it's child nodes so that we can get matchedString by index

generate

private void generate(String strMatch,
                      dk.brics.automaton.State state,
                      int limit)

prepareTransactionNodes

private List<Node> prepareTransactionNodes(dk.brics.automaton.State state)

Build list of nodes that present possible transactions from the state.

Parameters:

state -

Returns:

getAllMatchedStrings

public List<String> getAllMatchedStrings()

Generate all Strings that matches the given Regex.

Returns:

getMatchedStrings

public List<String> getMatchedStrings(int limit)

Generate subList with a size of limit of Strings that matches the given Regex. the Strings are ordered in lexicographical order.

Parameters:

limit -

Returns:

random

public String random()

Generate and return a random String that match the pattern used in this Generex.

Returns:

random

public String random(int minLength)

Generate and return a random String that match the pattern used in this Generex, and the string has a length >= minLength

Parameters:

minLength -

Returns:

random

public String random(int minLength,
                     int maxLength)

Generate and return a random String that match the pattern used in this Generex, and the string has a length >= minLength and <= maxLength

Parameters:

minLength -

maxLength -

Returns:

prepareRandom

private String prepareRandom(String strMatch,
                             dk.brics.automaton.State state,
                             int minLength,
                             int maxLength)
