Parse.ParseState(3kaya)
NAME
Parse::ParseState - The current state of the string being parsed.
SYNOPSIS
Parse::ParseState< >
= ParseState(Int line,Int pos,String input)
DESCRIPTION
This data type represents the current state of the parsing. line and
pos represent the current position of the parser with respect to the
original String (both starting at 1), and input contains the unparsed
section of the String.
The constructors are public for ease of inspection and to allow users
to write their own parser functions, but should never be altered
directly outside a parse function.
When writing your own parser, use Strings.behead (3kaya) and
Strings.ltruncate (3kaya) to efficiently remove parsed characters from
the string.
