Functions

func ParseMultilineStrings

func ParseMultilineStrings(text string) (string, error)

ParseMultilineStrings looks for bash-style heredocs and replaces them with single-line text-proto-escaped strings.

This looks line by line for /<<\s*([_a-zA-Z]+)\s*$/. If this is found, the scanner then looks until it finds /^\s*\1\s*$/. Every line between these is joined like "\n".join(lines), and then printed back as an escaped proto string. The scanner then loops back to its initial state.

Not that nothing special needs to be done for e.g.

some_key: "string with << angles"

Such a line would be left alone, because the trailing quote (which is mandatory in text proto) cause the starting regex to not match.

For convenience, the inner lines will be treated with the equivalent of python's `textwrap.dedent`; any common leading whitespace that occurs on every line will be removed. Although both tabs and spaces count as whitespace, they are not equivalent (i.e. only exactly-matching whitespace prefixes count)

The only error this may return is if there's an open heredoc without a matching close marker.

Example:

  this: <<EOF
	   would
	   turn \ninto
      a "single"
    line
  EOF

Turns into the same as:

this: "would\nturn \\ninto\n  a \"single\"\nline"

func UnmarshalTextML

func UnmarshalTextML(s string, pb proto.Message) error

UnmarshalTextML behaves the same as proto.UnmarshalText, except that it allows for multiline strings in the manner of ParseMultilineStrings.
