I cannot get 'normal' RegEx's to work, what am I doing wrong?

#1

I’m trying to generate a social security number by a date of birth and a random number.

Day Month Year Random number
01-31 01-12 - 1234

The output should look like this:
01121967-1234

The first two integers is a day with leading 0, the third and fourth is a month 01 to 12 with a leading zero in case of it being less than 10, the next four a year, then a dash and four random digits.

How would I do that in Mockaroo?

This can be done using inline formulas (the f(x) button).

See this example: https://mockaroo.com/88fb7fa0

In this case I used a date field with format “mm/dd/yyyy” and the following formula:

this.to_s + '-' + pad(random(1, 9999).to_s, 4, '0', 'left')
