EDS_GEN

This C++ application generates a random EDS (Elastic Degenerate String) file based on user-defined parameters like max file length, elastic word structure, repetitiveness, and percentage of degenerate symbols. It provides flexibility for creating customizable EDS files for analysis and testing.

Installation

Use make command to compile the cpp program

Usage:

With Makefile

make eds

make raw

make help

make version

Classic Execution

./EDS-GEN [option] [argument] | ...

Options: --help Show this help message and exit.

--type Specify the type of sequences (Raw, Eds, Eds-intensive, Test) Example: --type [R, E, I, T]

--output Specify the name of the output file without the extension. Example: --output result

--totSize Set the maximum size of the generated output. Example: --size 1000

--maxPerDeg Set the max number of degenerate symbols in the generated sequence. Example: --maxPerDeg 25

--numDeg Set the max number of degenerate symbols in the generated sequence. Example: --numDeg 5

--repeatability Set the repeatability level for the EDS (Elastic Degenerate Sequence). (NOT IN USE) Accepted values: 1 to 10. Example: --repeatability 5

--degenerate Set the percentage of degenerate symbols in the generated sequence. (NOT IN USE) Accepted values: 0 to 100. Example: --degenerate 25

--seed Specify a seed for random number generation to ensure repeatable results. (NOT IN USE) Example: --seed 12345

--custom-alphabet If --alphabet is set to "custom", define the custom alphabet. (NOT IN USE) Example: --custom-alphabet "abcdxyz"

--version Display the version of the program and exit.

Examples:

  ./mainEDS-GEN --type E --outputName intensive --totSize 1000 --maxPerDeg 2 --numDeg 100 

  ./mainEDS-GEN --type R --outputName intensive --totSize 1000
