Function nom::bytes::complete::escaped_transform

pub fn escaped_transform<Input, Error, F, G, O1, O2, ExtendItem, Output>(
    normal: F,
    control_char: char,
    transform: G
) -> impl FnMut(Input) -> IResult<Input, Output, Error>where
    Input: Clone + Offset + InputLength + InputTake + InputTakeAtPosition + Slice<RangeFrom<usize>> + InputIter + ExtendInto<Item = ExtendItem, Extender = Output>,

Matches a byte string with escaped characters.

• The first argument matches the normal characters (it must not match the control character)
• The second argument is the control character (like \ in most languages)
• The third argument matches the escaped characters and transforms them

As an example, the chain abc\tdef could be abc def (it also consumes the control character)
