Random File Generator

I created this to assist with an experiment where I was comparing file parsing performance between Rust, Python, Node, and Bun.

You may find it useful.

Installation

Linux

The downloaded file will be located in ~/.local/bin/

curl -s https://tinyurl.com/thesandybridge-gf | bash

Basic Usage

By default, if no line number is defined, 1000 lines of 8 character Alphanumeric strings are generated. I may add some verbose output in the future.

gfc list.txt

gfc --lines 1000 list.txt

gfc --lines 1000 --characters 8 list.txt
