[ragel-users] Exit action

[Eric Brown]

Hi Adrian,

Thanks. I'd missed the longest-match kleene star documentation.

Sorry if this is a stupid question -- I'm looking for the best of both worlds. How do I get a longest-match kleene star machine to start over if there is an error?

For example, a document of "mailto:email1 at x ... mailto:email2 at y ... mailto:invalid_email ... mailto:email4 at z" will find the first two but will exit on the third invalid_email when I really want it to keep going and find email4 at z.

Thanks,
Eric
