Hey Ralph,
I don't use Comma. I'm not a fan of IDE's and generally stick to vi for
all my needs. Old habits are hard to break especially once you've been
using the same tool for ~25 years like I have. ;(
I've been switching back and forth between:
use Grammar::Tracer;
and
use Grammar::Tracer::Compact;
Both I've found helpful, though obviously not fool proof. It'd be nice if
it show'd why it failed (i.e. what it encountered vs what it expected )
rather than just a 'failed'.
The difference was partly my fault for not even considering the differences
between '%' and '%%'. It was a fork lift from JSON::Tiny and it's one
change I overlooked entirely.
As an aside, I'm coming back to raku after a year hiatus in hopes that the
support for FreeBSD has improved and to some degree, have to reteach myself
the little tidbits I've forgotten.
Ultimately, I'm looking to parse the following using Grammars:
---- data -----
objectKey:
{
a = "bi";
b = "hi";
newObjectKey:
{
a = "go";
}
anotherObjectKey:
{
a = 'ho';
}
c = "no";
}
----------------
... and naturally with a Match object that represents this as a
hierarchical hash structure containing all the elements.
The differences between this and JSON are close enough that I thought a
mere copy/paste from JSON::Tiny w/ just enough changes to account for the
differences would be enough, but they are in fact different enough that
this was an oversight.
At least I learned a bit in the process.
Thanks,
Paul
