node.js - PEGjs: Fallback (backtrack?) to string if floating point rule fail -


i have atom rule tries parse either number or quoted string first, if fails, treat thing string.

everything parses fine except 1 particular case specific string:

dud 123abc

which fails parse expected " ", "." or [0-9] "a" found. error.

what expect: should parse , return string "123abc" string atom. can see several of unsuccessful attempts commented out in grammar content below.

any help/tips/pointers/suggestions appreciated!

you can try grammar on online peg.js version. i'm using node v0.8.23 , pegjs 0.7.0

numbers parses correctly:

  • `123
  • `0
  • `0.
  • `1.
  • `.23
  • `0.23
  • `1.23
  • `0.000
  • . <--- string, not number , not error

i want 123abc parsed string, possible?

this entire grammar file:

start = lines:line+ { return lines; }  // --------------------- line structure line = command:command eol { return command; }  command = action:atom args:(sep atom)* {   var = 0, len = 0;    (var = 0, len = args.length; < len; i++) {     // discard parsed separator tokens     args[i] = args[i][1];   }    return [action, args]; }  sep = ' '+ eol = "\r" / "\n" / "\r\n"  atom = num:number { return num; }      / str:string_quoted { return str; }      / str:string { return str; }  // --------------------- commands  // todo:  // --------------------- strings string = chars:([^" \r\n]+) { return chars.join(''); }  string_quoted = '"' chars:quoted_chars* '"' { return chars.join(''); } quoted_chars = '\\"' { return '"'; }              / char:[^"\r\n] { return char; }  // --------------------- numbers number = integral:('0' / [1-9][0-9]*) fraction:("." [0-9]*)? {   if (fraction && fraction.length) {     fraction = fraction[0] + fraction[1].join('');   } else {     fraction = '';   }    integral = integral instanceof array ?     integral[0] + integral[1].join('') :     '0';    return parsefloat(integral + fraction); }         / ("." / "0.") fraction:[0-9]+ {   return parsefloat("0." + fraction.join('')); }  /* float = integral:integer? fraction:fraction { return integral + fraction; }  fraction = '.' digits:[0-9]* { return parsefloat('0.' + digits.join('')); }  integer = digits:('0' / [1-9][0-9]*) {   if (digits === '0') return 0;   return parseint(digits[0] + digits[1].join(''), 10); }  */

solved adding !([0-9\.]+[^0-9\.]) sort of look-ahead infront of number rule.

i know atom rule match making number rule fails bit sooner. can helps ambiguous cases in future.

so number rule becomes:

number = !([0-9\.]+[^0-9\.]) integral:('0' / [1-9][0-9]*) fraction:("." [0-9]*)?

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
