A simple way to generate random strings for testing and benchmarking.
A purely random character string is not always the best test case for testing and benchmarking. These modules help generate random strings with preferences for character sets and character properties.
Example:
module Main ( main ) where
import Test.RandomStrings
iso_alpha = onlyAlpha randomChar8
ascii_alphanum = onlyAlphaNum randomASCII
-- print a list of 30 random alphanumeric strings between 5 and 25
-- chars long.
main = do
words <- randomStringsLen (randomString ascii_alphanum) (5,25) 30
mapM_ putStrLn words
Build the example with cabal build readme-example.
Functions allow tuning strings for character class and toying with the distribution of alphabetic and upper/lower-case characters.
