Outdated egg!
This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 5 version of this egg, if it exists.
If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.
Prcc(Parser/Regex Combinator library for Chicken scheme)
Introduction
Prcc is a PEG-like combinator parser library and inspired by Ruby gem rsec.
Each combinator is a procedure that accepts an opaque "context" object and returns an object representing its match, or #f if it does not match.
Combinators
[procedure] (char CHAR)Generate a parser that reads a char and returns this character as a string.
[procedure] (<c> CHAR)Alias of char.
[procedure] (seq PARSER ...)Sequence parser: each subparser must match, and their results are returned in a list.
[procedure] (<and> PARSER ...)Alias of sequence parser.
[procedure] (sel PARSER ...)Branch parser and ordered selected. Returns the result of the first parser that matches.
[procedure] (<or> PARSER ...)Alias of branch parser.
[procedure] (one? PARSER)Appear 0 or 1 time. Returns the empty string if PARSER doesn't match.
[procedure] (<?> PARSER)Alias of one?.
[procedure] (rep PARSER)Repeat 0 to infinite times. Returns a list of PARSER results, with as many items as matches that were found.
Example:
(parse-string "aabba" (rep (sel (char #\a) (char #\b)))) => ("a" "a" "b" "b" "a")[procedure] (<*> PARSER)
Alias of rep.
[procedure] (rep+ PARSER)Repeat 1 to infinite times.
[procedure] (<+> PARSER)Alias of rep+.
[procedure] (pred PARSER0 PARSER1)Lookahead predicate PARSER1.
Example:
(parse-string "a" (pred (char #\a) (eof))) => "a" ;; If we had used (seq), we would get '("a" "") ;; This also allows us to ensure this is the entire string: (parse-string "ab" (pred (char #\a) (eof))) => #f ;; Without the lookahead, it will simply consume as much as possible: (parse-string "ab" (char #\a)) => "a"[procedure] (<&> PARSER0 PARSER1)
Alias of pred
[procedure] (pred! PARSER0 PARSER1)Negative lookahead.
[procedure] (<&!> PARSER0 PARSER1)Alias of pred!.
[procedure] (eof)End of file.
[procedure] (act PARSER [SUCC-PROC] [FAIL-PREC])Act on the result of the parser, whether it's success or failure.
This allows you to add semantic actions to the parser.
Note: Be sure not to return #f in SUCC-PROC, because that will be filtered out.
Example:
(define a-or-b (sel (char #\a) (char #\b))) (parse-string "aabba" (rep (act a-or-b (lambda (x) (if (string=? "a" x) 'yes 'no))))) => (yes yes no no yes)[procedure] (<@> PARSER [SUCC-PROC] [FAIL-PREC])
Alias of act.
[procedure] (neg PARSER)Take parser failure as pass.
[procedure] (<^> PARSER)Alias of neg.
[procedure] (regexp-parser STRING [CHUNK-SIZE])Generate a regexp parser.
[procedure] (<r> STRING [CHUNK-SIZE])Alias of regexp-parser.
[syntax] (lazy PARSER)Defer the binding of parser. This is useful for mutually recursive parsers, as PARSER can be defined after the use of the lazy parser.
Example:
;; Without "lazy" around bar, this would give an error that ;; bar is not yet defined. (define foo (sel (char #\x) (lazy bar))) (define bar (char #\y))[procedure] (cached PARSER)
Cache parser result(packrat parsing).
Helpers
[procedure] (str STRING)A string parser.
[procedure] (<s> STRING)Alias of str.
[procedure] (one-of STRING)Parse one of chars in STRING.
[procedure] (join+ PARSER0 PARSER1)Repeat PARSER0 one or more times, interspersed by PARSER1.
Example:
;; Parse an array of "a" or "b" identifiers: ;; This can be done more elegantly with rep+_ (define ident (sel (char #\a) (char #\b))) (parse-string "[a,b,b,a]" (even (ind (seq (char #\[) (join+ ident (char #\,)) (char #\])) 1))) => ("a" "b" "b" "a")[procedure] (join+_ PARSER0 PARSER1 [skip: PARSER2])
Repeat PARSER0 with PARSER1 inserted but skip PARSER2. By default, PARSER2 is spaces parser (<s*>).
[procedure] (ind SEQ-PARSER INDEX)Return the value of SEQ_PARSER output that is indicated by INDEX.
Example:
(parse-string "xy" (ind (seq (char #\x) (char #\y)) 1)) => "y"[procedure] (<#> SEQ-PARSER INDEX)
Alias of ind.
[procedure] (<w>)A word letter (any uppercase or lowercase letter, digit or underscore, i.e. the same as (<r> "\\w")).
[procedure] (<w*>)Zero or more word letters.
[procedure] (<w+>)One or more word letters.
[procedure] (<space>)One whitespace character (space, tab or newline).
[procedure] (<s*>)Zero or more whitespace characters.
[procedure] (<s+>)One or more whitespace characters.
[procedure] (rep_ PARSER0 [skip: PARSER1])Repeat PARSER0 from 0 to infinite times, but skip PARSER1. By default, PARSER1 is spaces parser (<s*>).
[procedure] (<*_> PARSER0 [skip: PARSER1])Alias of rep_.
[procedure] (rep+_ PARSER0 [skip: PARSER1])Repeat PARSER0 from 1 to infinite times, but skip PARSER1. By default, PARSER1 is spaces parser (<s*>).
Example:
;; Parse an array of "a" or "b" identifiers: (define ident (sel (char #\a) (char #\b))) (parse-string "[a,b,b,a]" (ind (seq (char #\[) (rep+_ a-or-b skip: (char #\,)) (char #\])) 1)) => ("a" "b" "b" "a")[procedure] (<+_> PARSER0 [skip: PARSER1])
Alias of rep+_.
[procedure] (seq_ PARSER ... [skip: PARSER1])Sequence parser but skip PARSER1. By default, PARSER1 is spaces parser (<s*>).
[procedure] (and_ PARSER ... [skip: PARSER1])Alias of seq_.
[procedure] (even SEQ-PARSER)Generate a parser which returns the elements at even-numbered positions of sequence parser output, collected in a list.
Note: This starts counting at zero!
Example:
(parse-string "abcde" (even (seq (char #\a) (char #\b) (char #\c) (char #\d) (char #\e)))) => ("a" "c" "e")[procedure] (odd SEQ-PARSER)
Generate a parser which returns the elements at odd-numbered positions of sequence parser output, collected in a list.
Note: This starts counting at zero!
Example:
(parse-string "abcde" (odd (seq (char #\a) (char #\b) (char #\c) (char #\d) (char #\e)))) => ("b" "d")[procedure] (parse-file FILENAME PARSER [CACHE])
Parse a file with PARSER. By default, no cache (CACHE=#f).
[procedure] (parse-string STRING PARSER [CACHE])Parse a string with PARSER. By default, no cache (CACHE=#f).
[syntax] (parse-port PORT PARSER [CACHE])Parse from PORT with PARSER. By default, no cache (CACHE=#f).
Example
(use prcc) (define parser (<and> (<@> (<s> "hello") (lambda (o) "hello ")) (<s> "world") (eof))) (display (parse-string "helloworld" parser)) (newline)
