Function winnow::combinator::separated

    parser: ParseNext,
    separator: SepParser,

Expand description

Accumulate the output of a parser, interleaved with sep

This stops when either 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 separator parser accepts empty inputs (like alpha0 or digit0), separated will return an error, to prevent going into an infinite loop.

§Example

Zero or more repetitions:

use winnow::combinator::separated;

fn parser(s: &str) -> IResult<&str, Vec<&str>> {
  separated(0.., "abc", "|").parse_peek(s)
}

assert_eq!(parser("abc|abc|abc"), Ok(("", vec!["abc", "abc", "abc"])));
assert_eq!(parser("abc123abc"), Ok(("123abc", vec!["abc"])));
assert_eq!(parser("abc|def"), Ok(("|def", vec!["abc"])));
assert_eq!(parser(""), Ok(("", vec![])));
assert_eq!(parser("def|abc"), Ok(("def|abc", vec![])));

One or more repetitions:

use winnow::combinator::separated;

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

assert_eq!(parser("abc|abc|abc"), Ok(("", vec!["abc", "abc", "abc"])));
assert_eq!(parser("abc123abc"), Ok(("123abc", vec!["abc"])));
assert_eq!(parser("abc|def"), Ok(("|def", vec!["abc"])));
assert_eq!(parser(""), Err(ErrMode::Backtrack(InputError::new("", ErrorKind::Tag))));
assert_eq!(parser("def|abc"), Err(ErrMode::Backtrack(InputError::new("def|abc", ErrorKind::Tag))));

Fixed number of repetitions:

use winnow::combinator::separated;

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

assert_eq!(parser("abc|abc|abc"), Ok(("|abc", vec!["abc", "abc"])));
assert_eq!(parser("abc123abc"), Err(ErrMode::Backtrack(InputError::new("123abc", ErrorKind::Tag))));
assert_eq!(parser("abc|def"), Err(ErrMode::Backtrack(InputError::new("def", ErrorKind::Tag))));
assert_eq!(parser(""), Err(ErrMode::Backtrack(InputError::new("", ErrorKind::Tag))));
assert_eq!(parser("def|abc"), Err(ErrMode::Backtrack(InputError::new("def|abc", ErrorKind::Tag))));

Arbitrary repetitions:

use winnow::combinator::separated;

fn parser(s: &str) -> IResult<&str, Vec<&str>> {
  separated(0..=2, "abc", "|").parse_peek(s)
}

assert_eq!(parser("abc|abc|abc"), Ok(("|abc", vec!["abc", "abc"])));
assert_eq!(parser("abc123abc"), Ok(("123abc", vec!["abc"])));
assert_eq!(parser("abc|def"), Ok(("|def", vec!["abc"])));
assert_eq!(parser(""), Ok(("", vec![])));
assert_eq!(parser("def|abc"), Ok(("def|abc", vec![])));
