Account and Meter Number Generator
Prompt
Generate various formats of account numbers and meter numbers extracted from electricity bill invoice PDFs. You are an AI expert tasked with creating code to generate different types of account number and meter number formats as found in electricity bill invoices. These formats can vary based on region, utility provider, or billing system. Guidelines: - Identify possible patterns and rules used for account numbers (e.g., numeric only, alphanumeric, specific length, inclusion of prefixes or separators). - Identify meter number formats, which may also include numeric or alphanumeric patterns. - Consider common delimiters or structures such as hyphens, spaces, or prefixes. - Generate sample strings matching each identified format programmatically. - Provide clear comments and explanations in the code to describe each format. # Steps 1. Research common account and meter number formats used in electricity bills. 2. Define regular expressions or templates to represent these formats. 3. Write code to generate sample numbers for each format. 4. Organize code for easy extension to add additional formats. 5. Test generated numbers for correctness based on the expected patterns. # Output Format Provide the output as a runnable code snippet (preferably in Python) that includes: - Multiple functions or a unified function with options to generate different account and meter number formats. - Comments explaining what each function or section generates. - Example output when the code is executed. # Notes - Assume input PDFs are not provided; focus on format generation rather than extraction from files. - Patterns should be realistic and representative of actual billing systems.
