Function repeat

pub fn repeat<Input, Output, Accumulator, Error, ParseNext>(
    occurrences: impl Into<Range>,
    parser: ParseNext,
) -> Repeat<ParseNext, Input, Output, Accumulator, Error>
where
    Input: Stream,
    Accumulator: Accumulate<Output>,
    ParseNext: Parser<Input, Output, Error>,
    Error: ParserError<Input>,

Accumulate the output of a parser into a container, like Vec

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

To take a series of tokens, Accumulate into a () (e.g. with .map(|()| ())) and then Parser::take.

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

Example

Zero or more repetitions:

use winnow::combinator::repeat;

fn parser(s: &str) -> IResult<&str, Vec<&str>> {
  repeat(0.., "abc").parse_peek(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![])));

One or more repetitions:

use winnow::combinator::repeat;

fn parser(s: &str) -> IResult<&str, Vec<&str>> {
  repeat(1.., "abc").parse_peek(s)
}

assert_eq!(parser("abcabc"), Ok(("", vec!["abc", "abc"])));
assert_eq!(parser("abc123"), Ok(("123", vec!["abc"])));
assert_eq!(parser("123123"), Err(ErrMode::Backtrack(InputError::new("123123", ErrorKind::Tag))));
assert_eq!(parser(""), Err(ErrMode::Backtrack(InputError::new("", ErrorKind::Tag))));

Fixed number of repetitions:

use winnow::combinator::repeat;

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

assert_eq!(parser("abcabc"), Ok(("", vec!["abc", "abc"])));
assert_eq!(parser("abc123"), Err(ErrMode::Backtrack(InputError::new("123", ErrorKind::Tag))));
assert_eq!(parser("123123"), Err(ErrMode::Backtrack(InputError::new("123123", ErrorKind::Tag))));
assert_eq!(parser(""), Err(ErrMode::Backtrack(InputError::new("", ErrorKind::Tag))));
assert_eq!(parser("abcabcabc"), Ok(("abc", vec!["abc", "abc"])));

Arbitrary repetitions:

use winnow::combinator::repeat;

fn parser(s: &str) -> IResult<&str, Vec<&str>> {
  repeat(0..=2, "abc").parse_peek(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"])));
