Boost Spirit Qi: Omit Element in Kleene Star Parser

Question

I want to disassemble special designs and discard the rest. But I do not want to use a skipper.

I want to get a vector of these constructs, so I use the Kleene Star parser as a basic rule. But every time something is discarded, the inline element is inserted by default into the vector.

Here is an example. It just searches for the string Testand discards the rest, at least that's the plan. But each time the rule garbagesucceeds, it adds the default element to the vector in the rule all, giving a result of 7 insteat of 1. How can I tell Spirit to simply add to the vector if the rule is itemsuccessful?

  typedef std::string::const_iterator iterator;

  qi::rule<iterator, std::vector<container>()> all;
  qi::rule<iterator, container()> item;
  qi::rule<iterator, std::string()> string_rule;
  qi::rule<iterator> garbage;

  all = *(garbage | item);
  garbage = qi::char_ - qi::lit("Test");
  string_rule = qi::string("Test");
  item = string_rule >> qi::attr(true);

  std::vector<container> ast;

  std::string input = "blaTestbla";

  iterator first = input.begin();
  iterator last = input.end();

  bool result = qi::parse(first, last, all, ast);
  if (result) {
    result = first == last;
  }

  if (result) {
    std::cout << "Parsed " << ast.size() << " element(s)" << std::endl;
  } else {
    std::cout << "failure" << std::endl;
  }

}

, :

*garbage >> -(item % *garbage) >> *garbage

*garbage >> *(item >> *garbage)

all = *(garbage | item[phx::push_back(qi::_val,qi::_1)]);

start = qi::skip(garbage.alias())[*item];

Answer 2

( )

all         = -(item - garbage) % +garbage;

:

Parsed 3 element(s)
