Generator for Regex?

[John Stanford]

Hi,

Is there a straight forward way to generate a string based on a regex?

Thanks,

John

Hi,

I know Daniel Sobral had an implementation that creates a string
generator out of a regex, that we talked about including in ScalaCheck.

@Daniel, how did that work out? Do you have anything I can add to
ScalaCheck?

Regards,
Rickard

I've answered that. Is it being moderated, or was it lost?

My message got bounced because I was not a subscriber to scalacheck,
so I'm replying to myself with it (after subscribing). :-)

I travel to the future all the time.

Thanks Daniel! I'll try to get it in to ScalaCheck.

It is being moderated. Sorry for the delay.

Any progress on this?

Greetings

This would be very interesting!

Will a generator based on regex ever be available?
