I am cracking my head open with this:
I want to create passwords based on patterns. In those patterns I want to have repeating parts like a{3} => aaa, (ab){3} => ababab or [ab]{3} => aba or aaa or bbb etc..

I have “built” a suitable Regex expression:
/(?:([[abcdef]+])|(([[]abcdef]+))|([abcdef])){(d+)}/i

Now I have the problem that the result is either
[match,nil,nil,count] or
[nil,match,nil,count] or
[nil,nil,match,count]

So I have to build s.th. like $1+$2+$3 repeated count.times.
Is it possible to get the matching group-part in $1 and my count always in $2?
In regex101 I got it to work with (?| but Ruby does not understand that.

I hope it is clear what I want!?
