09:07 <@szabgab> rakudo: say "a b,c,d" ~~ rule { a \w ** [\,] }
09:07 <+p6eval> rakudo 9fd5ea: OUTPUT«a b?»
09:08 <@szabgab> can anyone help me to understand why this does not
match the whole string?
09:08 < moritz_> rakudo: say "a b,c,d" ~~ rule { a \w**[\,] }
09:08 <+p6eval> rakudo 9fd5ea: OUTPUT«a b?»
09:08 < moritz_> rakudo: say "a b,c,d" ~~ rule { a \w**\, }
09:08 < sorear> [\,] seems very contrived
09:08 <+p6eval> rakudo 9fd5ea: OUTPUT«a b?»
09:09 < moritz_> sorear: still it should work, no?
09:09 < sorear> should
09:09 <@szabgab> oh, right I don't need the [] at the end
09:10 < moritz_> rakudo: say "a b,c,d" ~~ rule { a \w[\,\w]* }
09:10 <+p6eval> rakudo 9fd5ea: OUTPUT«a b,c,d?»
09:12 < moritz_> rakudo: say "a b,c,d" ~~ token { a <.ws> \w ** \, }
09:12 <@szabgab> moritz_: yes, that's a workaround :)
09:12 <@szabgab> thanks
09:12 <+p6eval> rakudo 9fd5ea: OUTPUT«a b?»
I kinda expect \w ** \, to match 'b,c,d', and the last evalbot line
shows that it's not a problem with whitespaces.
