I wanted to have a way to generate random names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. I needed some xml data that I could read from a plist, to use with Xcode, so I wrote a generator.
I works very well for me, but I haven’t had anyone else look at it…
If you get a chance take a peek at :
http://www.journey-of-flight.com/bh_utility/random_names/random_name_generator.php
The generator is broken down into four parts :
Output Fields : select which fields you want for testing
Output Mode : {“MAIN”, “HTML”, “TEXT”, “XML”}
[ ] About - a little about the site and author (defaults to unchecked)
[x] Help - minor help, this generator is pretty simple to use.
[x] Header Row Uses : {$key, $value}
$key is in this format “home_phone”
$value is in this format “Home Phone”
[x] Pad SeqNo puts leading zeros :
two zeros if less than 1000 records
three zeros if more than 999 records
[x] Center Phone Numbers (alignment)
is used with the {“MAIN”} view, which is the HTML Table
( ) Delimiter : defaults to TAB for the HTML, and TEXT views, but can be changed
Range [10] : you can generate from 10 to 2000 records
Let me know :
( 1 ) if it's useful, and
( 2 ) if you spot any problems I should fix
