You can build a pattern generator but no matter what pattern gets
generated, you'll have to tweak it by hand. 
Lets take your example here:
report_id="545687"
You could build it using a 'piece by piece' method doing the following:
report_id="
545687
"
Now the thing that we really have to look at is the 545687 part. It can
be defined as:
1 or more number characters
0 or more number characters
1 or more characters
0 or more characters
6 number characters
etc.
A generator to do this is very do-able, but the bottom line is in what
language, in what time and by who.
