Function winnow::multi::many_m_n

source ·
pub fn many_m_n<I, O, C, E, F>(
    min: usize,
    max: usize,
    parse: F
) -> impl Parser<I, C, E>where
    I: Stream,
    C: Accumulate<O>,
    F: Parser<I, O, E>,
    E: ParseError<I>,
Expand description

Repeats the embedded parser m..=n times

This stops before n when the parser returns ErrMode::Backtrack. To instead chain an error up, see cut_err.

Arguments

  • m The minimum number of iterations.
  • n The maximum number of iterations.
  • f The parser to apply.

To recognize a series of tokens, Accumulate into a () and then Parser::recognize.

Warning: If the parser passed to many1 accepts empty inputs (like alpha0 or digit0), many1 will return an error, to prevent going into an infinite loop.

Example

use winnow::multi::many_m_n;
use winnow::bytes::tag;

fn parser(s: &str) -> IResult<&str, Vec<&str>> {
  many_m_n(0, 2, "abc").parse_next(s)
}

assert_eq!(parser("abcabc"), Ok(("", vec!["abc", "abc"])));
assert_eq!(parser("abc123"), Ok(("123", vec!["abc"])));
assert_eq!(parser("123123"), Ok(("123123", vec![])));
assert_eq!(parser(""), Ok(("", vec![])));
assert_eq!(parser("abcabcabc"), Ok(("abc", vec!["abc", "abc"])));
