Function whitespacesv::parse

source · 
pub fn parse(
    source_text: &str
) -> Result<Vec<Vec<Option<Cow<'_, str>>>>, WSVError>
Expand description

Parses the contents of a .wsv (whitespace separated value) file. The result is either a 2 dimensional vec where the outer layer is the line and the inner layer is the column or a WSVError. ‘-’ values will be converted to ‘None’ and all other values will be ‘Some’

For example, given the wsv file:

1 -
3 4

the returned value would be [[Some(1), None], [Some(3), Some(4)]]

The source text will be sanitized. That is to say:

  1. All "/" escape sequences within quoted strings will be replaced with \n inside the string.
  2. All "" (two double-quote character) escape sequences within strings will be replaced with " (one double-quote character)
  3. Any wrapping quotes around a string will be removed. Ex. "hello world!" will just be hello world! in the output.
