pub fn many_m_n<I, O, E, F>(min: usize, max: usize, parse: F) -> impl FnMut(I)
Available on crate feature
mtls
only.Expand description
Repeats the embedded parser m..=n
times
This stops before n
when the parser returns Err::Error
and returns the results that were accumulated. To instead chain an error up, see
cut
.
§Arguments
m
The minimum number of iterations.n
The maximum number of iterations.f
The parser to apply.
Note: If the parser passed to many1
accepts empty inputs
(like alpha0
or digit0
), many1
will return an error,
to prevent going into an infinite loop.
