Test data creation

Hi,

I need to produce A LOT of test data for a testing environment I've been told to look after. Should have stayed at home this week

As it is for testing and probable sending to vendors I can't use real data (customer details).

My wish list to Sanata is to have a number of flat files that have customer details I've made up (like below)

From within my script I'll select at random a line to ues in populating my test records.

So, is there a simple way of randomly pulling a line from a given file?



File 1
mr smith, the house, the street, the country, the postcode
mr doe, his house, his stree, his country, his postcode

File 2
02081231456
02086568989
01628565555
07856877777

Cheers, Neil

NAME
Apache::TestHandler - a few response handlers and helpers SYNOPSIS
package My::Test; use Apache::TestHandler (); sub handler { my ($r) = @_; my $result = do_my_test; Apache::TestHandler::ok1 $r, $result; } sub handler2 { my ($r) = @_; my $result = do_my_test; Apache::TestHandler::ok $r, $result; } DESCRIPTION
"Apache::TestHandler" provides 2 very simple response handler. FUNCTIONS
ok $r, $boolean The handler simply prints out "ok" or "not ok" depending on the optional $boolean parameter. If $boolean is omitted "true" is assumed. ok1 $r, $boolean This handler implements a simple response-only test. It can be used on its own to check if for a certain URI the response phase is reached. Or it can be called like a normal function to print out the test result. The client side is automatically created as described in <http://perl.apache.org/docs/general/testing/testing.html#Developing_Response_only_Part_of_a_Test>. $boolean is optional. If omitted "true" is assumed. same_interp_counter same_interp_fixup TODO SEE ALSO
