exrex: Generate all possible strings that match a regular expression, joined by a custom delimiter string.
$ exrex --delimiter "${, }" '${regular_expression}'
try on your machine

The command exrex --delimiter "${, }" '${regular_expression}' is used to generate all possible strings that match a given regular expression.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • exrex is the name of the command-line tool that is being executed.

  • --delimiter "${, }" is an option used to specify the delimiter used between generated strings. In this case, the delimiter is set to be "${, }", which means that the generated strings will be enclosed in "${" and "}".

  • '${regular_expression}' is the regular expression that specifies the pattern or format of the strings to be generated. The regular expression is enclosed in single quotes to ensure that special characters and metacharacters within the regular expression are not interpreted by the shell.

By running this command, the exrex tool will generate all possible strings that match the specified regular expression, with each string enclosed in "${" and "}". The generated strings will be printed to the console as the output.
