A parser whose ~ combinator disallows back-tracking.
A base class for parser results.
A base class for parser results. A result is either successful or not
(failure may be fatal, i.e., an Error, or not, i.e., a Failure). On
success, provides a result of type T which consists of some result
(and the rest of the input).

A wrapper over sequence of matches.
A wrapper over sequence of matches.
Given p1: Parser[A] and p2: Parser[B], a parser composed with
p1 ~ p2 will have type Parser[~[A, B]]. The successful result
of the parser can be extracted from this case class.
It also enables pattern matching, so something like this is possible:
def concat(p1: Parser[String], p2: Parser[String]): Parser[String] = p1 ~ p2 ^^ { case a ~ b => a + b }
An extractor so NoSuccess(msg, next) can be used in matches.
An extractor so NoSuccess(msg, next) can be used in matches.
The parser that matches an element in the domain of the partial function f.
The parser that matches an element in the domain of the partial function f.
If f is defined on the first element in the input, f is applied
to it to produce this parser's result.
Example: The parser accept("name", {case Identifier(n) => Name(n)})
accepts an Identifier(n) and returns a Name(n)

A parser that succeeds if f is applicable to the first element of the input,
applying f to it to produce the result.

accept(es) succeeds if the input subsequently provides the elements in the list es.

instead of first creating a Parser using accept(Identifier("new")).
the Elem that must be the next piece of input for the returned parser to succeed

If f is defined on the first element in the input, f is applied
to it to produce this parser's result.
Example: The parser acceptMatch("name", {case Identifier(n) => Name(n)})
accepts an Identifier(n) and returns a Name(n)

The most important differences between
RegexParsersand scala.util.parsing.combinator.Parsers are:Elemis defined to be scala.CharParser[String], so that string literals can be used as parser combinators.Parser[String], so that regex expressions can be used as parser combinators.skipWhitespace(defaults totrue) and, if true, skip any whitespace before each parser is called.whiteSpacereturns a regex that identifies whitespace.For example, this creates a very simple calculator receiving
