Goal

Write mask rule logic to

• generate strings from file

Ano Structure and Examples

Structure

        ...
        mask <column> <rule-name>
            format %s
            file <file-location> random-order?
        ...

Structure Multiple Files

        ...
        mask <column> <rule-name>
            format "%s %s"
            file <file-1-location> random-order?
            file <file-2-location> random-order?
        ...

Update Example

table CUSTOMER
    ...
    column text NAME size 40
    ...
...
task ... {
    update CUSTOMER
        ...
        mask NAME
            format "%s %s"
            file src/main/resources/firstname.txt random-order
            file src/main/resources/lastname.txt random-order
        ...
}

Create Example

table CUSTOMER
    ...
    column time EARLIESTCHECKINTIME
    ...
...
task ... {
    update CUSTOMER
        minimum-rows 50
        ...
        mask NAME
            format "%s %s"
            file src/main/resources/firstname.txt random-order
            file src/main/resources/lastname.txt random-order
        ...
}

• Make sure the .txt files resides in the folder src/main/resources/ in the generated project.
• random-order: Optional keyword that decides if values are picked randomly or sequentially from the file.
• With multiple input sources, the order of inputs corresponds to the order of the %s´s in the format string
  • 1st %s of the format string receives values from <file-1-location>, 2nd %s receives from <file-2-location>
