…ar expression These are useful over randomAscii because they do not contain the DEL character but otherwise contrain the full range of ASCII printing characters, and optionally include whitespace. This is useful for testing user defined inputs where characters like spaces, angle brakets, semicolons, dashes, etc, can cause issues.
these methods are useful for testing bound assumption issues

at a high level, I have added
randomGraph( int count )andrandomPrint( int count )which map to their corresponding regular expression classes. These are useful if you're needing to test arbitrary user input in various kinds of text fields.randomAsciiwas not sufficient due to it's inclusion of the DEL character.I have also added variants of random Ascii, graph, print, alphabetic, alphanumeric, and numeric that have
minimumInclusiveandmaximumInclusiveparameters. These can be used to create string of random length to ensure more random distribution of data when testing. The will also ensure that developers who use them are less likely to forget testing variable lengths within the bounds.
