Serial format syntax
The default format is [a-zA-Z0-9]{size}.
The format is composed of defined characters, random characters and variables.
For the moment, there is not a lot of variables which could be used but with the time, some parameters would appear.
When you can to have random characters, you have to use brackets []
- [a-z] would display one character between "a" (lowercase) and "z" (lowercase).
- [a-e] would display one character between "a" (lowercase) and "e" (lowercase).
- [0-9] would display one digit (number).
- [a-zA-Z] would display one character between "a" and "z" (lowercase or upercase).
- [0-9]{3} would display three digits (number).
- [aeiouy@#] would display one character from the list: a, e, i , o, u, y , "@", "#".
- [a-z]{size} would display several characters depending the value of the "serial size".
Some serial format examples:
- [a-z]{size}-[0-9]{size}-[a-z]{size}
- [A-Z]{2}[ABCDEFGHKLMNPQRSTUVXYZ0-9]{size}
