Hmm, this is a bit more challenging. If we are not afraid of
recursion, we can use:
; matching m*cycle
no-space: complement charset " ^-" ; for example
looping-rule: ["cycle" | no-space looping-rule]
parse/all text ["m" looping-rule]
Which gives:
>> parse/all "motorcycle" ["m" looping-rule]
== true
>> parse/all "motor cycle" ["m" looping-rule]
== false
If we want to avoid recursion, we have to use a trick, because
we need to break out of the loop created by 'any.
parse/all text [
"m" mark: any ["cycle" mark: to end | no-space] :mark
]
It's ugly, but it works. I'd like to have something like 'break
for 'any and 'some too...
Regards,
Gabriele.
