Function fold_many_m_n

pub fn fold_many_m_n<I, O, E, F, G, H, R>(
    min: usize,
    max: usize,
    parse: F,
    init: H,
    fold: G,
) -> impl FnMut(I)
where
    I: Clone + InputLength,
    F: Parser<I, O, E>,
    G: FnMut(R, O) -> R,
    H: FnMut() -> R,
    E: ParseError<I>,

Available on crate feature mtls only.

Repeats the embedded parser m..=n times, calling g to gather the results

This stops before n when the parser returns Err::Error. 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.
• init A function returning the initial value.
• g The function that combines a result of f with the current accumulator.

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.
