I want to parse a bash like sequence string, for example
"some-thing{1..20}", and extract the string before first { and then
two numbers inside.
I tried this first
utop # Scanf.sscanf "some-thing{1..3}" "%s{%d..%d}" (fun s n1 n2 -> s,n1,n2);;
Exception: End_of_file.
Then I realized %s is special and needs scanning indication (character @).
So I tried that but I get the same error
utop # Scanf.sscanf "some-thing{1..3}" "%s@{%d..%d}" (fun s n1 n2 -> s,n1,n2);;
Exception: End_of_file.
But if I use some other character as end of string indication then it works.
utop # Scanf.sscanf "some-thingI{1..3}" "%s@I{%d..%d}" (fun s n1 n2 ->
s,n1,n2);;
- : bytes * int * int = ("some-thing", 1, 3)
It seems '{' is somehow special but I can't find anything in the docs
about this.
Can someone explain what is going on here?
Thanks!
p.s. At the end I solved my thing by using a range
utop # Scanf.sscanf "some-thing{1..3}" "%[a-z-]{%d..%d}" (fun s n1 n2
-> s,n1,n2);;
- : bytes * int * int = ("some-thing", 1, 3)
