Generate test data from a REGEX

Question

Folks,

Does anyone know of a dll or .net code that will generate test data from a REGEX?

Unfortunately, I am writing in C#, and I need to generate the test data at run time.

I have also tried Rex, but it blows an error when I try to load it on a virtual machine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Brett Nieland

I think generating test data from a REGEX is a great idea. I was wondering if you learned any new info on this subject? — Kevin, Mar 25 '14 at 14:53

There is a Microsoft reasearch tool called Rex that explores .NET regexes and generates members efficiently. http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/rex/

As I have seen, you already tried Rex: Maybe the blog post from Chris Eargle helps you then.

Thanks, that article is what initially led me to REX! I sure wish they would release the source code... – bnieland Jan 21 '11 at 04:30
