9[section Number List Redux - list syntax]
10
11
12So far, we've been using the syntax:
13
14    double_ >> *(',' >> double_)
15
16to parse a comma-delimited list of numbers. Such lists are common in parsing and
17Spirit provides a simpler shortcut for them. The expression above can be
18simplified to:
19
20    double_ % ','
21
22read as: a list of doubles separated by `','`.
23
24This sample, again a variation of our previous example, demonstrates just that:
25
26    template <typename Iterator>
27    bool parse_numbers(Iterator first, Iterator last, std::vector<double>& v)
28    {
29        using x3::double_;
30        using x3::phrase_parse;
31        using x3::_attr;
32        using ascii::space;
33
34        auto push_back = [&](auto& ctx){ v.push_back(_attr(ctx)); };
35
36        bool r = phrase_parse(first, last,
37
38            //  Begin grammar
39            (
40                double_[push_back] % ','
41            )
42            ,
43            //  End grammar
44
45            space);
46
47        if (first != last) // fail if we did not get a full match
48            return false;
49        return r;
50    }
