Hi,
is it possible to add such a parser that would consume input, but wouldn't return anything?
Right now I do things like...
MyParser>>rule ^ ($[ asParser, anotherRule, $] asParser) ==> [ :nodes | nodes second ]
Of course when the rules are more complex, so is the block; however it seems that this is how it's done in the example parsers...
So, would it be possible to add some kind of Null/Void/Ignore/Throwaway parser, that would consume the input, but would be omitted from the result?
so the above method could be written as
MyParser>>rule ^ $[ asNullPaser, anotherRule, $] asNullParser
or
MyParser>>rule ^ $[ asParser ignore, anotherRule, $[ asParser ignore
or something else.
Thanks, Peter
not sure what is the probleme exactly.
if you don't put any semantic action "==> [....]"
then the parser does not produce anything, no?

The problem is, that in syntax there are often many symbols that are no longer needed once the string is parsed so I want to get rid of them.
For example imagine a string representation of an JSON array:
'[ 1, 2, 3 ]'
Once the string is parsed, the brackets are no longer needed so I can get rid of them with a block
MyJsonParser>>array ^ ($[ asParser, arrayElements, $] asParser) ==> [ :nodes | nodes second ]
This way the result of the array will not contain those $[ $] symbols because I am not interested in them after the parsing.
So, I would prefer to explicitly state that I am not interested in certain parser after it has done its job.
MyJsonParser>>array ^ $[ asParser ignore, arrayElements, $] asParser ignore
(or the other alternative mentioned in the first post)
Is what I am trying to accomplish clearer?

Hey, you can achieve your goal by extending the petit parser API as follows;
PPParser>>nullParser " transforms whatever result to null " ^ self ==> [:e | NullResult instance ]
PPParser>>ignoreNulls " removes NullResults from result " ^ self ==> [:e | e isCollection ifTrue: [ e reject: [ :item | item isNullResult ] ifFalse: [ e ] ]
Cheers, Jan
