choice-string
Provides utilities to parse selections (indices and ranges) from a string
Features
Parsing selection strings
For this crate, the format of the selection string can be understood through the following example:
The following packages are available:
(1) good-package (2) bad-package (3) decent-package
(4) awful-package (5) amazing-package (6) package6
(7) package7 (8) package8
Select which packages to install:
>> 1 3 5 6-8
The following packages are being installed:
good-package, decent-package, amazing-package, package6,
package7, package8
...
In this case, the user has selected indices 1, 3, 5, and all between (inclusive) 6 through 8.
Simple API
let selection = choice_string::parse("1, 2, 3, 4-8").expect("parse error");
assert!(selection.contains_item(5));
Flexible syntax
The delimiters are flexible. Any of the following work:
,
- A comma;
- A semicolon
You can also use any combination of the above in a single string, and even mix as single separators.
For example:
1, 2, 3,5 6-9
1-8 11, 12
1,2,3,4
1;2;3;4
Condenses to minimal representation
After parsing, the provided ranges are condensed by a union operation.
For example:
1, 2, 3, 4-5, 11
->1-5, 11
