Add a Regular Expression pattern to a String Generator
Current state
Currently, the String generator allows to specify the length of the string and the string contents by character categories:
-
Letters – By default, this check box is selected.
-
Digits – By default, this check box is selected.
-
Spaces – By default, this check box is selected.
-
Punctuation marks – By default, this check box is selected.

Proposal
However, there are cases which need more precise string format. Regular expression would allow an elegant way to define the format.
I suggest to add an option to set a regular expression pattern. The String generator would follow the regex pattern instead of string length and the above mentioned character categories.
