pub fn take_while_m_n<F, Input, Error: ParseError<Input>>(
m: usize,
n: usize,
cond: F
) -> impl Fn(Input) -> IResult<Input, Input, Error> where
Input: InputTake + InputIter + InputLength,
F: Fn(<Input as InputIter>::Item) -> bool,
Expand description
Returns the longest (m <= len <= n) input slice that matches the predicate.
The parser will return the longest slice that matches the given predicate (a function that takes the input and returns a bool).
It will return an Err::Error((_, ErrorKind::TakeWhileMN))
if the pattern wasn’t met.
Streaming Specific
Streaming version will return a Err::Incomplete(Needed::new(1))
if the pattern reaches the end of the input or is too short.
Example
use nom::bytes::streaming::take_while_m_n;
use nom::character::is_alphabetic;
fn short_alpha(s: &[u8]) -> IResult<&[u8], &[u8]> {
take_while_m_n(3, 6, is_alphabetic)(s)
}
assert_eq!(short_alpha(b"latin123"), Ok((&b"123"[..], &b"latin"[..])));
assert_eq!(short_alpha(b"lengthy"), Ok((&b"y"[..], &b"length"[..])));
assert_eq!(short_alpha(b"latin"), Err(Err::Incomplete(Needed::new(1))));
assert_eq!(short_alpha(b"ed"), Err(Err::Incomplete(Needed::new(1))));
assert_eq!(short_alpha(b"12345"), Err(Err::Error(Error::new(&b"12345"[..], ErrorKind::TakeWhileMN))));
