Function combine::try [] [src]

pub fn try<P>(p: P) -> Try<P> where P: Parser

Try acts as p except it acts as if the parser hadn't consumed any input if p returns an error after consuming input

let mut p = try(string("let"))
    .or(string("lex"));
let result = p.parse("lex").map(|x| x.0);
assert_eq!(result, Ok("lex"));
let result = p.parse("aet").map(|x| x.0);
assert!(result.is_err());
