Unescaped sample broken right now?

[socmag]

Hello, I'm just trying out PEGTL - seems totally awesome.

I can't seem to get the unescaped sample to work at the moment
Get this error no matter what I send it as an argument:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'tao::pegtl::parse_error' what(): argv[1]:1:0(0): parse error matching tao::pegtl::pad<example::literal, tao::pegtl::ascii::blank, tao::pegtl::ascii::blank>

I literally just started looking at PEGTL today, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if this is my screw up.

This is on the MASTER branch synced today btw.

Should I go back on to the 1.3.1 release for now?

thanks!

Just tried it with the 1.3.1 release and get the same thing.

Maybe I'm confused what I'm supposed to be passing on the command line.

I've tried:

./unescape abc
./unescape "abc"

and a bunch of other things... no luck (gcc 6.2.1-7 btw)

You need to pass in a string (with escaped characters if you want) including the surrounding double-quotes. In order to do so, it is not sufficient to simply pass double-quotes on the command line, as the shell will interpret them and won't pass it to the example code. The correct way to pass them is:

./unescape '"abc"'

This should work in both the 1.3.1 as well as the current master branch.

Aha, that was the one combo I didn't try,
Works like a champ, thanks!
