gem 'regex_generator'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install regex_generator

RegexGenerator.generate('45', 'some text 45')

You can pass target as hash to generate regex with named capturing groups.

You can use additional options to generate regex. For example:

RegexGenerator.generate('45', 'some text 45', exact_target: true)

Or use from command line:

$ generate_regex "target" "text or path/to/file" [options]

Allowed options:

• :exact_target - When it true regex will generated for exact target value
• :self_recognition - Symbols that will be represented as itself. Can be string or array
• :look - :ahead or :behind (:behind by default). To generate regex with text after or before the value
• :strict_count - When it true regex will generated with strict chars count
• :title - Regex will generated for provided title. If :title is provided as Hash (i.e. to generate regex with name capturing groups), :title must contains the same keys as target
