Introduction
StuceSoftware.RandomStringGenerator is a library developed in C# to generate random strings of from various categories.
It is fast and suports string generation of various length. It is parameterized to generate both a single or a list of random strings.
Random strings can be of types lowercase, uppercase, numbers and symbols. It also allows you to generate random string with only a
subset of symbols from the supported list. It is an ideal library for use in projects such as:
password generator
unique-id generator
unique filename generator
raw data generator for data processing/parsing projects
etc. etc.
Features
Supports single or multiple random string generation
Supports random string generation from alphabet, numbers, symbols or a combination of them
Supports customized length of random string
Supports random length of generated strings with a fixed max length
using StuceSoftware.RandomStringGenerator;
// generating one random string from lowercase alphabets
var randomString = RandomString.GetString(CharClasses.Lowercase);
System.Console.WriteLine(randomString);
// generating 100 random strings using both upper and lower case alphabet, numbers and all supported symbols
var randomAlphaNumbericStrings = RandomString.GetStrings(
CharClasses.Lowercase | CharClasses.Uppercase | CharClasses.Numbers | CharClasses.Symbols, 100);
foreach (string s in randomAlphaNumbericStrings)
System.Console.WriteLine(s);
// generating 200 random string using uppercase alphabet and custom symbols
var randomAlphabetWithCustomSymbols = RandomString.GetStrings(CharClasses.Uppercase, 200, "/+*-");
foreach (string s in randomAlphabetWithCustomSymbols)
System.Console.WriteLine(s);
// generating 1000 true random strings of length 20 using uppercase alphabet with custom symbols
var trueUniqueRandomStrings = RandomString.GetStrings(CharClasses.Uppercase, 1000, 20, "/+*-", false, true);
foreach (string s in trueUniqueRandomStrings)
System.Console.WriteLine(s);
// generating 100 random strings using both upper and lowercase alphabet, numbers and custom symbols
var randomAlphabetWithCustomSymbols = RandomString.GetStrings(CharClasses.Lowercase | CharClasses.Uppercase | CharClasses.Numbers, 100, "/+*-", forceOccuranceOfEachType: true);
foreach (string s in randomAlphabetWithCustomSymbols)
System.Console.WriteLine(s);
Note :eyes:
As of version 2.0, if custom symbols are defined, there is no need to specify the symbol character class (CharClasses.Symbols),
this is assumed when custom symbols are provided
