Description

I’m trying to parse a file where the pattern might be seen multiple times:

G04 hello world*
G04 foo bar*

The corresponding PEG.js grammar is:

Comment
  = "G04" _ content:String* _ EOL
  {
    return content
  }

_ "whitespace"
  = [ \t\n\r]*

String
  = value:[a-zA-Z0-9.(): _-]+
  {
    return value.join('') 
  }

EOL
  = [*] _ 

Expected behavior:

I would expect PEG.js to produce a 2 item array for each G04 line.

Actual behavior:

The following error is thrown:

Line 2, column 1: Expected end of input but “G” found.

@StoneCypher I like you energy 😃 I used to be using pegjs in the past (in dmajda’s times) and I liked it a lot.

Just fork it and do not fight. Things can and will settle down later. If community follows you then you do not need to care about existing “key holder” or anything like that. Building reputation takes time but is necessary. Do not waste time on arguing anymore.

Eight your fork will make it “back into the origin” at some point in the future or it will have its own life. Both options are valid and fine IMO.

When I said “do not give this advice again,” I also really meant it.
