Example
[Note] Note

The test harness for the example(s) below is presented in the Basics Examples section.

Some using declarations:

using boost::spirit::qi::omit;
using boost::spirit::qi::int_;
using boost::spirit::ascii::char_;

This parser ignores the first two characters and extracts the succeeding int:

int i;
test_parser_attr("xx345", omit[char_ >> char_] >> int_, i);
std::cout << i << std::endl; // should print 345
