Match a repeating number of elements.
Defined in header <boost/url/grammar/range_rule.hpp>
template< class Rule> constexpr implementation-defined range_rule( Rule next, std::size_t N = 0, std::size_t M = std::size_t(-1));
Elements are matched using the passed rule.
Normally when the rule returns an error, the range ends and the input is
rewound to one past the last character that matched successfully. However,
if the rule returns the special value error::end_of_range
, the input is not
rewound. This allows for rules which consume input without producing elements
in the range. For example, to relax the grammar for a comma-delimited list
by allowing extra commas in between elements.
using value_type = range< typename Rule::value_type >;
Rules are used with the function parse
.
// range = 1*( ";" token ) result< range<string_view> > rv = parse( ";alpha;xray;charlie", range_rule( tuple_rule( squelch( delim_rule( ';' ) ), token_rule( alpha_chars ) ), 1 ) );
range = <N>*<M>next

The minimum number of elements for the range to be valid. If omitted, this defaults to zero. |
