this code is based on concepts established in:
language confluxer (http://generators.christopherpound.com/) written by Christopher Pound (pound@rice.edu), July 1993.
over the years various improvements have been made to the original functionality, especially using java instead of the brutish perl language, your milage may vary.
Conflux will :
- read one or many sample text file(s)
- build internal lookup table(s)
- generate (random) output that looks similar to the sample(s)
you can influence the output given the various options below.
the most simple usage would be:
java -jar conflux.jar -i <sample-file>
java -jar conflux.jar [options]
-T <n> table size (def=2)
-n <n> min word size (def=4)
-m <n> max word size (def=5)
-s <n> number of words (def=20)
-S <n> random seed
-i <f> input file
-d use debug
-b <n> loop breaker (def=100)
-f <n> fudge chars (def=3)
-r use restricted mode (faster)
