Subject: create a string from a pattern?

Im trying to come up with an easy way to generate a random string,
based on a supplied pattern, maybe something like:

String.from_pattern("\d\d\d@\w{3,5}.com") => "412@amnf.com"

Ive used a standard reg exp format here, but it doesnt matter if it
uses something else.
Any simple way to do this?

Thanks
Paul
