I'm trying to parse an indented language using FastParse and I'm struggling finding any resources or information on it.
There is only one example I can find here that shows how to parse and calculate the sum of the integers in the tree structure. I've tried copying this code but I get the same error where it fails parsing \n
.
I would like to parse this.
example
1
2
3
Code
import fastparse.all._
class ExampleParser(indent: Int) {
val word: P[String] = P("example".!)
val number: P[String] = P( CharIn('0'to'9').rep(1).! )
val blockBody: P[Seq[String]] = "\n" ~ deeper.flatMap(i => new ExampleParser(indent = i).number.rep(1, sep = ("\n" + " " * i).~/))
val deeper: P[Int] = P(" ".rep(indent + 1).!.map(_.length))
val section: P[(String, Seq[String])] = P(word ~ blockBody)
val expr: P[(String, Seq[String])] = P(section)
}
object Main
{
def main(args: Array[String]) =
{
check(
"""example
| 1
| 2
| 3
""".stripMargin.trim
)
println()
}
def check(str: String) = {
new ExampleParser(0).expr.parse(str) match {
case Parsed.Success(value, _) => println(value)
case Parsed.Failure(a, b, c) => println("Failure:" + a + ":" + b + ":" + c)
}
}
}
Output
Failure:"\n":7:Extra(...ample
1
2
3, [traced - not evaluated])
How can I parse this correctly?
If I change "expression" to "example":
I get the result:
Of course you might like to change it the other way round.
