基本例子

import scala.util.parsing.combinator._

class SimpleParser extends RegexParsers {
  // Define a grammar rule, turn it into a regex, and apply it the input.
  def word: Parser[String] = """[A-Z][a-z]+""".r ^^ { _.toString }
}

object SimpleParser extends SimpleParser {
  val parseAlice = parse(word, "Alice went to Alamo Square.")
  val parseBarb = parse(word, "barb went Upside Down.")
}

//Successfully finds a match
println(SimpleParser.parseAlice)
//Fails to find a match
println(SimpleParser.parseBarb)

輸出如下：

[1.6] parsed: Alice
res0: Unit = ()

[1.1] failure: string matching regex `[A-Z][a-z]+' expected but `b' found

barb went Upside Down.
^

Alice 示例中的 [1.6] 表示匹配的開始位於 1 的位置，並且匹配的第一個字元在位置 6 處開始。
