        """
        Define one or more actions to perform when successfully matching parse element definition.

        Parse actions can be called to perform data conversions, do extra validation,
        update external data structures, or enhance or replace the parsed tokens.
        Each parse action ``fn`` is a callable method with 0-3 arguments, called as
        ``fn(s, loc, toks)`` , ``fn(loc, toks)`` , ``fn(toks)`` , or just ``fn()`` , where:

        - s   = the original string being parsed (see note below)
        - loc = the location of the matching substring
        - toks = a list of the matched tokens, packaged as a :class:`ParseResults` object

        The parsed tokens are passed to the parse action as ParseResults. They can be
        modified in place using list-style append, extend, and pop operations to update
        the parsed list elements; and with dictionary-style item set and del operations
        to add, update, or remove any named results. If the tokens are modified in place,
        it is not necessary to return them with a return statement.

        Parse actions can also completely replace the given tokens, with another ``ParseResults``
        object, or with some entirely different object (common for parse actions that perform data
        conversions). A convenient way to build a new parse result is to define the values
        using a dict, and then create the return value using :class:`ParseResults.from_dict`.

        If None is passed as the ``fn`` parse action, all previously added parse actions for this
        expression are cleared.

        Optional keyword arguments:

        - call_during_try = (default= ``False``) indicate if parse action should be run during
          lookaheads and alternate testing. For parse actions that have side effects, it is
          important to only call the parse action once it is determined that it is being
          called as part of a successful parse. For parse actions that perform additional
          validation, then call_during_try should be passed as True, so that the validation
          code is included in the preliminary "try" parses.

        Note: the default parsing behavior is to expand tabs in the input string
        before starting the parsing process.  See :class:`parse_string` for more
        information on parsing strings containing ``<TAB>`` s, and suggested
        methods to maintain a consistent view of the parsed string, the parse
        location, and line and column positions within the parsed string.

        Example::

            # parse dates in the form YYYY/MM/DD

            # use parse action to convert toks from str to int at parse time
            def convert_to_int(toks):
                return int(toks[0])

            # use a parse action to verify that the date is a valid date

                from datetime import date

                except ValueError:
                    raise ParseException(instring, loc, "invalid date given")

        repeatedly matched with a fixed recursion depth that is gradually increased
        until finding the longest match.

        Example::

            import pyparsing as pp
            pp.ParserElement.enable_left_recursion()

            E = pp.Forward("E")
            num = pp.Word(pp.nums)
            # match `num`, or `num '+' num`, or `num '+' num '+' num`, ...
            E <<= E + '+' - num | num

            print(E.parse_string("1+2+3"))

        Recursion search naturally memoizes matches of ``Forward`` elements and may
        thus skip reevaluation of parse actions during backtracking. This may break
        programs with parse actions which rely on strict ordering of side-effects.

        Parameters:

        - cache_size_limit - (default=``None``) - memoize at most this many
          ``Forward`` elements during matching; if ``None`` (the default),
          memoize all ``Forward`` elements.

        Bounded Recursion parsing works similar but not identical to Packrat parsing,
        thus the two cannot be used together. Use ``force=True`` to disable any
        previous, conflicting settings.

        Enables "packrat" parsing, which adds memoizing to the parsing logic.
        Repeated parse attempts at the same string location (which happens
        often in many complex grammars) can immediately return a cached value,
        instead of re-executing parsing/validating code.  Memoizing is done of
        both valid results and parsing exceptions.

        Parameters:

        - cache_size_limit - (default= ``128``) - if an integer value is provided
          will limit the size of the packrat cache; if None is passed, then
          the cache size will be unbounded; if 0 is passed, the cache will
          be effectively disabled.

        This speedup may break existing programs that use parse actions that
        have side-effects.  For this reason, packrat parsing is disabled when
        you first import pyparsing.  To activate the packrat feature, your
        program must call the class method :class:`ParserElement.enable_packrat`.
        For best results, call ``enable_packrat()`` immediately after
        importing pyparsing.

        Example::

            import pyparsing

        """
        Parse a string with respect to the parser definition. This function is intended as the primary interface to the
        client code.

        :param instring: The input string to be parsed.
        :param parse_all: If set, the entire input string must match the grammar.
        :param parseAll: retained for pre-PEP8 compatibility, will be removed in a future release.
        :raises ParseException: Raised if ``parse_all`` is set and the input string does not match the whole grammar.
        :returns: the parsed data as a :class:`ParseResults` object, which may be accessed as a `list`, a `dict`, or
          an object with attributes if the given parser includes results names.

        If the input string is required to match the entire grammar, ``parse_all`` flag must be set to ``True``. This
        is also equivalent to ending the grammar with :class:`StringEnd`().

        To report proper column numbers, ``parse_string`` operates on a copy of the input string where all tabs are
        converted to spaces (8 spaces per tab, as per the default in ``string.expandtabs``). If the input string
        contains tabs and the grammar uses parse actions that use the ``loc`` argument to index into the string
        being parsed, one can ensure a consistent view of the input string by doing one of the following:

        - calling ``parse_with_tabs`` on your grammar before calling ``parse_string`` (see :class:`parse_with_tabs`),
        - define your parse action using the full ``(s,loc,toks)`` signature, and reference the input string using the
          parse action's ``s`` argument, or
        - explicitly expand the tabs in your input string before calling ``parse_string``.

        Examples:

        By default, partial matches are OK.

        >>> res = Word('a').parse_string('aaaaabaaa')
        >>> print(res)
        ['aaaaa']

        The parsing behavior varies by the inheriting class of this abstract class. Please refer to the children
        directly to see more examples.

        It raises an exception if parse_all flag is set and instring does not match the whole grammar.

        Execute the parse expression on a series of test strings, showing each
        test, the parsed results or where the parse failed. Quick and easy way to
        run a parse expression against a list of sample strings.

        Parameters:
        - ``tests`` - a list of separate test strings, or a multiline string of test strings
        - ``parse_all`` - (default= ``True``) - flag to pass to :class:`parse_string` when running tests
        - ``comment`` - (default= ``'#'``) - expression for indicating embedded comments in the test
          string; pass None to disable comment filtering
        - ``full_dump`` - (default= ``True``) - dump results as list followed by results names in nested outline;
          if False, only dump nested list
        - ``print_results`` - (default= ``True``) prints test output to stdout
        - ``failure_tests`` - (default= ``False``) indicates if these tests are expected to fail parsing
        - ``post_parse`` - (default= ``None``) optional callback for successful parse results; called as
          `fn(test_string, parse_results)` and returns a string to be added to the test output
        - ``file`` - (default= ``None``) optional file-like object to which test output will be written;
          if None, will default to ``sys.stdout``
        - ``with_line_numbers`` - default= ``False``) show test strings with line and column numbers

        Returns: a (success, results) tuple, where success indicates that all tests succeeded
        (or failed if ``failure_tests`` is True), and the results contain a list of lines of each

    Parameters:
    - ``init_chars`` - string of all characters that should be used to
      match as a word; "ABC" will match "AAA", "ABAB", "CBAC", etc.;
      if ``body_chars`` is also specified, then this is the string of
      initial characters
    - ``body_chars`` - string of characters that
      can be used for matching after a matched initial character as
      given in ``init_chars``; if omitted, same as the initial characters
      (default=``None``)
    - ``min`` - minimum number of characters to match (default=1)
    - ``max`` - maximum number of characters to match (default=0)
    - ``exact`` - exact number of characters to match (default=0)
    - ``as_keyword`` - match as a keyword (default=``False``)
    - ``exclude_chars`` - characters that might be
      found in the input ``body_chars`` string but which should not be
      accepted for matching ;useful to define a word of all
      printables except for one or two characters, for instance
      (default=``None``)

    :class:`srange` is useful for defining custom character set strings
    for defining :class:`Word` expressions, using range notation from
    regular expression character sets.

    A common mistake is to use :class:`Word` to match a specific literal
    string, as in ``Word("Address")``. Remember that :class:`Word`
    uses the string argument to define *sets* of matchable characters.
    This expression would match "Add", "AAA", "dAred", or any other word
    made up of the characters 'A', 'd', 'r', 'e', and 's'. To match an
    exact literal string, use :class:`Literal` or :class:`Keyword`.

    pyparsing includes helper strings for building Words:

    - :class:`alphas`
    - :class:`nums`
    - :class:`alphanums`
    - :class:`hexnums`
    - :class:`alphas8bit` (alphabetic characters in ASCII range 128-255
      - accented, tilded, umlauted, etc.)
    - :class:`punc8bit` (non-alphabetic characters in ASCII range
      128-255 - currency, symbols, superscripts, diacriticals, etc.)
    - :class:`printables` (any non-whitespace character)

    ``alphas``, ``nums``, and ``printables`` are also defined in several
    Unicode sets - see :class:`pyparsing_unicode``.

    Example::

        # a word composed of digits
        integer = Word(nums) # equivalent to Word("0123456789") or Word(srange("0-9"))

        # a word with a leading capital, and zero or more lowercase
        capital_word = Word(alphas.upper(), alphas.lower())

        # hostnames are alphanumeric, with leading alpha, and '-'
        hostname = Word(alphas, alphanums + '-')

        # roman numeral (not a strict parser, accepts invalid mix of characters)
        roman = Word("IVXLCDM")

        # any string of non-whitespace characters, except for ','
        csv_value = Word(printables, exclude_chars=",")

class Regex(Token):
    r"""Token for matching strings that match a given regular
    expression. Defined with string specifying the regular expression in
    a form recognized by the stdlib Python  `re module <https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html>`_.
    If the given regex contains named groups (defined using ``(?P<name>...)``),
    these will be preserved as named :class:`ParseResults`.

    If instead of the Python stdlib ``re`` module you wish to use a different RE module
    (such as the ``regex`` module), you can do so by building your ``Regex`` object with
    a compiled RE that was compiled using ``regex``.

    Example::

        realnum = Regex(r"[+-]?\d+\.\d*")
        # ref: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/267399/how-do-you-match-only-valid-roman-numerals-with-a-regular-expression
        roman = Regex(r"M{0,4}(CM|CD|D?{0,3})(XC|XL|L?X{0,3})(IX|IV|V?I{0,3})")

        # named fields in a regex will be returned as named results
        date = Regex(r'(?P<year>\d{4})-(?P<month>\d\d?)-(?P<day>\d\d?)')

        # the Regex class will accept re's compiled using the regex module
        import regex
        parser = pp.Regex(regex.compile(r'[0-9]'))

    - ``esc_char`` - character to re_escape quotes, typically backslash
      (default= ``None``)
    - ``esc_quote`` - special quote sequence to re_escape an embedded quote
      string (such as SQL's ``""`` to re_escape an embedded ``"``)

    - ``multiline`` - boolean indicating whether quotes can span
      multiple lines (default= ``False``)
    - ``unquote_results`` - boolean indicating whether the matched text
      should be unquoted (default= ``True``)
    - ``end_quote_char`` - string of one or more characters defining the
      end of the quote delimited string (default= ``None``  => same as
