[TEXT] Support for generating random strings?
Hi, A recent discussion on LANG/RNG[1] seems to have concluded that RandomStringUtils doesn’t belong in LANG and almost certainly not in RNG either. Would there be any interest in creating a similar class within TEXT? I’d be happy to work on this and produce a first draft class. To give a flavour of what I’m proposing, please see the linked mail threads and also the gist at https://gist.github.com/dmjones500/da2f61a0234f428748417bf1443c0dff. Some of the predicate stuff I’ve proposed may have wider uses within TEXT and could warrant breaking out into its own class. Thanks, Duncan [1] http://markmail.org/message/buhfuzb2tsc6k2z6 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org

+1 go for it Duncan. Happy to help testing/reviewing/commenting if necessary.
