|
| 9 | chance.template('{Aa}-{##}')
|
| 10 | => 'Vr-78'
|
| 11 | chance.template('{####}:{####}:{####}')
|
| 12 | => '1628:5987:7803'
|
| 13 | ```
|

|
| 15 | The template consists of any number of "character replacement" and "character
|
| 16 | literal" sequences. A "character replacement" sequence starts with a left
|
| 17 | brace, has any number of special replacement characters, and ends with a right
|
| 18 | brace. A character literal can be any character except a brace or a backslash.
|
| 19 | A literal brace or backslash character can be included in the output by
|
| 20 | escaping with a backslash.
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 | The following replacement characters can be used in a replacement sequence:
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 | * "#": a random digit
|
| 25 | * "a": a random lower case letter
|
| 26 | * "A": a random upper case letter
