exrex: Print count of all possible strings that match a regular expression.
$ exrex --count '${regular_expression}'
try on your machine

The command "exrex --count '${regular_expression}'" uses the exrex tool to generate all possible strings that match a given regular expression and then counts the number of possible matches.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  1. "exrex" is the name of the tool/utility being used to generate strings from regular expressions.
  2. "--count" is an option/flag that tells the tool to count the number of matches.
  3. "${regular_expression}" is a placeholder for the actual regular expression you want to evaluate. You need to replace it with your specific regular expression within single quotes.

When you run this command, the exrex tool will generate all possible strings that match the given regular expression, and then it will output the total count of matches.
