Amey Jadiye commented on TEXT-97:
---------------------------------
Agree, usual use cases are numeric, alphabetic and alphanumeric and we can have
those robust methods as well since they are very handy but those should call
{{.withinRange(char[] ...)}} that's what I expect. so if someone in future
would needs another range like "I want alphanumeric plus special char" will
eventually use this API. {code}{{'!','-'},{'0','9'},{'A','Z'},{'a','z'}}{code}

> Fix For: 1.2

>
> Users should have ability to pass multiple ranges to generate desired output.
> Ex. For
> *.randomNumeric()*
> {code}
> char [][] ranges = {{'0','9'}};
> RandomStringGenerator generator = new
> RandomStringGenerator.Builder().withinRange(ranges).build();
> {code}
> *.randomAlphabetic()*
> {code}
> char [][] ranges = {{'A','Z'}}; // or {{'A','Z'},{'a','z'}}
> RandomStringGenerator generator = new
> RandomStringGenerator.Builder().withinRange(ranges).build();
> {code}
> *.randomAlphanumeric()*
> {code}
> char [][] ranges = {{'0','9'},{'A','Z'},{'a','b'}};
> RandomStringGenerator generator = new
> RandomStringGenerator.Builder().withinRange(ranges).build();
> {code}
