Re: [Haskell-beginners] Parsing

6 Mar 2016

      Hi Francesco,
Quick response! Thanks.

I see, so would it reduce to something like?
 many itemValue 

and originally I was thinking the data structure that it would parse into would be 

data Module = Module {— some record structure—}

but now it would be roughly like…

type Entry = (String, String)

data Module  = Module [Entry]

Thanks

Hi, I’m using Parsec to parse structured text and have some problems
with mandatory and optional text entries and the order in which they
occur.
For example:
module{
name   = some string
   source = …
dest              = …..
   bundle          = …
   bundle_dest = … 
   zip_name     = ….
}
Hello Mike,
   I would personally keep it simple. Parse the (item, value) list
and after that check if it is well formed (i.e. contains 'name' and
'source' values). If not, call `parserFail` with an appropriate
message.
