randstr (version 0.2.0)

randStr: Generate random strings of a dictated size of symbol set and distribution of the lengths of strings. The output is a list of 2 items: [[1]]vector of strings, [[2]]vector of the corresponding symbol set

Description

Generate random strings of a dictated size of symbol set and distribution of the lengths of strings. The output is a list of 2 items: [[1]]vector of strings, [[2]]vector of the corresponding symbol set

Usage

randStr(nString, maxLen, minLen, stdevLen = 0, distLen = "normal", symbolSetSize, delimiter = "-")

Arguments

nString

Number of strings to be generated

maxLen

Maximum allowable length of the strings

minLen

Minimum allowable length of the strings

stdevLen

Standard deviation of the length of the strings, applicable if using truncated normal distribution for the lengths of strings i.e. distLen='normal'

distLen

Distribution of the lengths of strings, can take on value of 'normal' or 'uniform'

symbolSetSize

Allowable number of different symbols to appear in the strings

delimiter

symbol separating each item in the strings

Examples

randStr(nString = 10, maxLen = 30, minLen = 1, stdevLen = 15, symbolSetSize = 25)
