def *[U >: T](sep: => Parser[(U, U) => U]): Parser[U]

Returns a parser that repeatedly parses what this parser parses, interleaved with the sep parser. The sep parser specifies how the results parsed by this parser should be combined.

def -[U](q: Parser[U]): Parser[T]

A parser combinator for exceptions.

A parser combinator for exceptions.

p - q succeeds if p succeeds, and q fails on the same input given p.

Attributes

q

a parser that will be executed before p (this parser). q will not consume the input.

Returns:

a Parser that returns the result of p (this parser) if it succeeds and q fails. If q succeeds, the parser will fail.

def <~[U](q: => Parser[U]): Parser[T]

A parser combinator for sequential composition which keeps only the left result.

A parser combinator for sequential composition which keeps only the left result.

p <~ q succeeds if p succeeds and q succeeds on the input left over by p.

Attributes

q

a parser that will be executed after p (this parser) succeeds -- evaluated at most once, and only when necessary

Returns:

a Parser that -- on success -- returns the result of p.

Note:

<~ has lower operator precedence than ~ or ~>.

def <~![U](q: => Parser[U]): Parser[T]

A parser combinator for non-back-tracking sequential composition which only keeps the left result.

A parser combinator for non-back-tracking sequential composition which only keeps the left result.

p <~! q succeeds if p succeeds and q succeeds on the input left over by p. In case of failure, no back-tracking is performed (in an earlier parser produced by the | combinator).

Attributes

q

a parser that will be executed after p (this parser) succeeds -- evaluated at most once, and only when necessary

Returns:

a Parser that -- on success -- reutrns the result of p. The resulting parser fails if either p or q fails, this failure is fatal.

def ^?[U](f: PartialFunction[T, U]): Parser[U]

A parser combinator for partial function application.

A parser combinator for partial function application.

p ^? f succeeds if p succeeds AND f is defined at the result of p; in that case, it returns f applied to the result of p.

Attributes

f

Returns:

a parser that succeeds if the current parser succeeds and f is applicable to the result. If so, the result will be transformed by f.

A parser combinator for partial function application.

A parser combinator for partial function application.

Attributes

error

a function that takes the same argument as f and produces an error message to explain why f wasn't applicable

f

a partial function that will be applied to this parser's result (see mapPartial in ParseResult).

Returns:

a parser that succeeds if the current parser succeeds and f is applicable to the result. If so, the result will be transformed by f.

A parser combinator for function application.

p ^^ f succeeds if p succeeds; it returns f applied to the result of p.

Attributes

f

a function that will be applied to this parser's result (see map in ParseResult).

Returns:

a parser that has the same behaviour as the current parser, but whose result is transformed by f.

def ^^^[U](v: => U): Parser[U]

A parser combinator that changes a successful result into the specified value.

A parser combinator that changes a successful result into the specified value.

p ^^^ v succeeds if p succeeds; discards its result, and returns v instead.

Attributes

v

The new result for the parser, evaluated at most once (if p succeeds), not evaluated at all if p fails.

Returns:

a parser that has the same behaviour as the current parser, but whose successful result is v

def into[U](fq: T => Parser[U]): Parser[U]

A parser combinator that parameterizes a subsequent parser with the result of this one.

A parser combinator that parameterizes a subsequent parser with the result of this one.

Use this combinator when a parser depends on the result of a previous parser. p should be a function that takes the result from the first parser and returns the second parser.

p into fq (with fq typically {x => q}) first applies p, and then, if p successfully returned result r, applies fq(r) to the rest of the input.

''From: G. Hutton. Higher-order functions for parsing. J. Funct. Program., 2(3):323--343, 1992.''

Attributes

fq

a function that, given the result from this parser, returns the second parser to be applied

Returns:

a parser that succeeds if this parser succeeds (with result x) and if then fq(x) succeeds

Example:
def perlRE = "m" ~> (".".r into (separator => """[^%s]*""".format(separator).r <~ separator))

def withErrorMessage(msg: String): Parser[T]

Changes the error message produced by a parser.

Changes the error message produced by a parser.

This doesn't change the behavior of a parser on neither success nor failure, just on error. The semantics are slightly different than those obtained by doing | error(msg), in that the message produced by this method will always replace the message produced, which is not guaranteed by that idiom.

For example, parser p below will always produce the designated error message, while q will not produce it if sign is parsed but number is not.

def p = sign.? ~ number withErrorMessage  "Number expected!"
def q = sign.? ~ number | error("Number expected!")

Attributes

msg

The message that will replace the default error message.

Returns:

A parser with the same properties and different error message.

def withFailureMessage(msg: String): Parser[T]
