-- Haskell98! -- | The final view to the typed sprintf and sscanf -- -- -- -- This code defines a simple domain-specific language of string -- patterns and demonstrates two interpreters of the language: -- for building strings (sprintf) and parsing strings (sscanf). -- This code thus solves the problem of typed printf/scanf sharing the -- same format string posed by Chung-chieh Shan. -- This code presents scanf/printf interpreters in the final style; -- it is thus the dual of the code in PrintScan.hs -- -- Version: The current version is 1.1, Sep 2, 2008. -- -- References -- -- * The complete Haskell98 code with many examples. -- -- -- * The final view on typed sprintf and sscanf -- -- -- * The message posted on the Haskell mailing list on Tue, 2 Sep 2008 00:57:18 -0700 (PDT) -- module Text.PrintScanF where import Prelude hiding ((^)) class FormattingSpec repr where lit :: String -> repr a a int :: repr a (Int -> a) char :: repr a (Char -> a) fpp :: PrinterParser b -> repr a (b -> a) (^) :: repr b c -> repr a b -> repr a c infixl 5 ^ -- Printer/parsers (injection/projection pairs) data PrinterParser a = PrinterParser (a -> String) (String -> Maybe (a,String)) fmt :: (FormattingSpec repr, Show b, Read b) => b -> repr a (b -> a) fmt x = fpp showread -- The interpreter for printf -- It implements Asai's accumulator-less alternative to -- Danvy's functional unparsing newtype FPr a b = FPr ((String -> a) -> b) instance FormattingSpec FPr where lit str = FPr $ \k -> k str int = FPr $ \k -> \x -> k (show x) char = FPr $ \k -> \x -> k [x] fpp (PrinterParser pr _) = FPr $ \k -> \x -> k (pr x) (FPr a) ^ (FPr b) = FPr $ \k -> a (\sa -> b (\sb -> k (sa ++ sb))) -- The interpreter for scanf newtype FSc a b = FSc (String -> b -> Maybe (a,String)) instance FormattingSpec FSc where lit str = FSc $ \inp x -> maybe Nothing (\inp' -> Just (x,inp')) $ prefix str inp char = FSc $ \inp f -> case inp of (c:inp) -> Just (f c,inp) "" -> Nothing fpp (PrinterParser _ pa) = FSc $ \inp f -> maybe Nothing (\(v,s) -> Just (f v,s)) $ pa inp int = fpp showread (FSc a) ^ (FSc b) = FSc $ \inp f -> maybe Nothing (\(vb,inp') -> b inp' vb) $ a inp f sprintf :: FPr String b -> b sprintf (FPr fmt) = fmt id sscanf :: String -> FSc a b -> b -> Maybe a sscanf inp (FSc fmt) f = maybe Nothing (Just . fst) $ fmt inp f -- One can easily build another interpreter, to convert a formatting -- specification to a C-style formatting string -- Tests tp1 = sprintf $ lit "Hello world" -- "Hello world" ts1 = sscanf "Hello world" (lit "Hello world") () -- Just () tp2 = sprintf (lit "Hello " ^ lit "world" ^ char) '!' -- "Hello world!" ts2 = sscanf "Hello world!"
