Re: LPeg - stack overflow (too many runtime captures) with match time capture

[leaf corcoran <leafot@...>]

The code you gave works great for my example, but what if I want to
access the value of the capture in the function at match time? What I
am trying to do it change the parsing path taken based on validation
done in the match time function.

Thanks, Leaf
