String Parser using BOOST.Spirit

[krbyxtrm]

hi,

i have problem implemting a string parser that parser comman delimited
string:
"str1,str2,str3 "
INTO:
1. str1
2. str2
3. str3
*also strings are of any string (no specific string/keyword)

I have this code below, what it does so far is to parse specific
string: "x1", "x2", "y1", "y2"
but what i need is a parser for any kind of string (comma delimited)

bool
parse_string(ch ar const* str, vector<string>& v)
(
return parse(str,
(
(str_p("x1"[push_back_a(v)]) |
str_p("x2")[push_back_a(v)] )

*(',' >> (str_p("y1")[push_back_a(v)] |

str_p("y2")[push_back_a(v)] ) )
),
space_p).full;
)

example use: INPUT: "x1,y2,y1,y 2"
OUTPUT:
x1
y2
y1
y2

what i need is:
example: INPUT: "this,is,a,test "
OUTPUT:
this
is
a
test

ps. i need to implement this using BOOST.Spirit

Thx

Your better off joining the boost.spirit mailing list at:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/l...spirit-general

Also I'd be surprised if there weren't an example of doing exactly that in
your spirit installation. Something like rule<> comma_delimited =
(*(anychar_p-','))[push_back_a(a)] % ',';

OT, but: What is that % operator used for?

From the docs at http://www.boost.org/libs/spirit/doc/operators.html,

a % b ; Match a list of one or more repetitions of a separated by
occurrences of b. This is the same as a >> *(b >> a). Note that a must not
also match b.

Awesome expression metatemplate techniques are never off-topic!

(And could we all learn to stand up to the chronic naggers, instead of
cringing each time a thread strays off The C++ Standard?)

I don't consider them awesome. Actually, it's the worst case of operator
abuse I've ever seen.

Can you implement an efficient and appealing parser generator directly in
C++ without abusing the occassional operator?

No, and I wouldn't want to do that either.

Hello people,

I have this parser that parses string that represents a function,
CONSIDER:

bool
parse_info<> x_parser3(char const* str, FunctionSpec& spec)
{
// some rules...
rettype = lexeme_d[(alpha_p)

*(alnum_p | space_p | ch_p('*'))][&do_ret];
// assign function name when match...
functionName = lexeme_d[(alpha_p | ch_p('_')) *(alnum_p | ch_p('_'))][assign_a(spec.m _Name)];

// other rules....
....
return parse(str,top);
}

for the functionName rule it was easy, just assign the name.
but for the rettype rule its much harder since i should not be assigned
directly,
since the FunctionSpec struct look like this:

strcut FunctionSpec {
std::string m_Name;
enum eVarType {
VAR_VOID, VAR_BOOL, VAR_INT...
}
eVarType m_RetType;
}

How can i assign value for 'm_RetType' ? since [do_ret] callback on
rettype rule is like this: do_ret[char const*,char const*], is there a
way around here?

Your post has two little problems:

- it's a new question, so it gets a new Subject
- the best place for Boost questions are its mailing lists

Just so you understand how topicality works, _I_ don't mind reading Boost
traffic here, because it's very important, and I'm not on that mailing
list. But _you_ will get the best answer on the narrowest possible
technical forum. There are too many people here who don't know enough about
Boost to qualify.

Try the Boost.Spirit mailing list for this one.
