Gilles commented on TEXT-97:
----------------------------

bq. single API which will return random string with given multiple ranges

I know, but what are the use-cases eventually?
I mean, if the only useful ranges are those that produce "decimal digits" and "lower/upper case ASCII" (and perhaps a handful of others), then the above methods are sufficient, more robust, and more efficient.

> Users should have ability to pass multiple ranges to generate desired output.
> Ex. For
> *.randomNumeric()*
> {code}
> char [][]  ranges = {{'0','9'}};
> RandomStringGenerator generator = new RandomStringGenerator.Builder().withinRange(ranges).build();
> {code}
> *.randomAlphabetic()*
> {code}
> char [][]  ranges = {{'A','Z'}}; // or {{'A','Z'},{'a','z'}}
> RandomStringGenerator generator = new RandomStringGenerator.Builder().withinRange(ranges).build();
> {code}
> *.randomAlphanumeric()*
> {code}
> char [][]  ranges = {{'0','9'},{'A','Z'},{'a','b'}};
> RandomStringGenerator generator = new RandomStringGenerator.Builder().withinRange(ranges).build();
> {code}
