A tool to create words based on regular expressions.
To build rexgen, you'll need the following tools and libs:
| Tool | needed for |
|---|---|
| flex | Generator for lexical analysis of regular expressions |
| bison | Generator of parser for regular expressions |
| cmake | Creation of Makefiles |
| clang | Compiling the code |
On Ubuntu, you can install these via e.g.
sudo apt install flex libfl-dev libbison-dev cmake clang bison
Clone the git repository to include the required FindICU:
git clone https://github.com/janstarke/rexgen.git
Build and install:
cd rexgen
./install.sh
# you can use the switches -p to enable python support and -l to enable lua supportIf you are interested in contributing, please have a look at
If you have problems building rexgen, you can change to the build directory and run cmake .. && make manually.
Currently supported options for rexgen's CMakefile are:
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debugcreates a debug build-DUSE_PYTHON=Ontells cmake to include the python interface-DUSE_LUA=Ontells cmake to include the lua python interface
rexgen::RexgenOptions options;
auto regex = parse_regex("Test[0-9]", options);
assert(regex != nullptr);
auto iter = std::make_shared<rexgen::TopIterator>(regex);
SimpleString str;
while (iter->next()) {
str.clear();
iter->value(&str);
std::cout << str.c_str() << std::endl;
