title: Generate test data from a REGEX
body: <p>Folks,</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of a dll or .net code that will generate test data from a REGEX?</p>
  
  <p>I am aware of <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa833197(VS.90).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The Regular Expression Generator</a> and the solutions offered in the stackoverflow question  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22115/using-regex-to-generate-strings-rather-than-match-them">Using Regex to generate Strings rather than match them</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, I am writing in C#, and I need to generate the test data at run time.</p>
  
  <p>I have also tried <a href="http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/rex/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Rex</a>, but it blows an error when I try to load it on a virtual machine.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Regards,</p>
