I'm trying to use nearley.js to write a parse for ini-like files, with difference that string value may contain special control symbols. For example ^y mean the text after this symbol must be yellow, ^b - blue, &i - italic.
I use nearley playground (http://omrelli.ug/nearley-playground/) and started with very basic grammar for value:
VALUE -> FONT_MODIFIER | COLOR_MODIFIER | TEXT
TEXT -> [^\n\^\&]:+
FONT_MODIFIER -> "&" [iIbBsS]
COLOR_MODIFIER -> "^" [aAbBcCdDfFgGiIkKmMoOpPrRsSwWyYnN]
But after I add test with random text (just letters, like "asdassad") after few seconds it gives me error Possible infinite loop detected! Check your grammar for infinite recursion.
What am I doing wrong? I just can't see where the loop comes from.
