Struct regen::Generator

pub struct Generator { /* fields omitted */ }

A generator for strings matching a regular expression

Implementations

impl Generator

pub fn new(s: &str) -> Result<Self>

Creates a Generator with default options.

Example

let mut gen = Generator::new("[a-z]{2}")?;

pub fn new_with_options(s: &str, opts: &GeneratorOptions) -> Result<Self>

Creates a Generator with the provided options.

Example

let opts = GeneratorOptions{max_length: 5};
let mut gen = Generator::new_with_options("[a-c]*", &opts)?;

pub fn append_next(&mut self, out: &mut Vec<u8>) -> Option<usize>

Appends the next generated string to the provided Vec and returns the number of elements written.

Depending on the kind of regular expression, the returned number of elements may be either a character count (for a pure unicode regex) or a byte count for a non pure unicode regex.

Example

let mut out = Vec::new();
let mut gen = Generator::new("[a-c]{2}")?;
while gen.append_next(&mut out).is_some() {
    // Process 'out'...
    out.clear();
}
