pub fn parse_arguments(input: &str) -> Vec<&str>
Expand description
Parses a comma-separated string input into a vector of string slices (Vec<&str>
).
This function supports skipping commas inside nested curly braces {}
. It correctly handles
nested structures, ensuring that commas within curly braces are not treated as delimiters.
§Parameters
input
: A string slice (&str
) containing comma-separated values, potentially with nested curly braces.
§Returns
A Vec<&str>
containing trimmed substrings split by commas outside of curly braces.
§Behavior
- Commas outside of curly braces
{}
are treated as delimiters. - Commas inside curly braces are ignored for splitting purposes.
- Leading and trailing whitespace around substrings are trimmed.
- Empty substrings (those consisting solely of whitespace) are ignored.
§Caveats
- The function requires matched curly braces
{}
. If the input contains unmatched curly braces, the function may produce unexpected results.
§Panics
This function does not explicitly panic, but improper manipulation of indices or unmatched braces could lead to unintended behavior.
§Errors in Current Code:
- There is a bug in the code where
arguments.push(*slice)
is used. The dereference operator (*
) is invalid for string slices. It should bearguments.push(slice)
. - Recommend fixing this bug by removing the dereference operator for proper functionality.
