Hello,

I would like to parse the input "word1 word2 word3 ." into ["word1","word2","word3"] using Parsec.

My code below fails with:
> unexpected "."
> expecting letter or digit

I guess the problem is that the blank before the dot is considered as belonging to the "sepBy word blank" parsing and therefore a next word is expected, and it is missing.
I would like the "sepBy word blank" parsing to stop after "word3".
How can I do this?

sentence :: Parser [String]
sentence =  do words <- word `sepBy` blank
                         blank
                         oneOf ".?!"
                         return words

word :: Parser String
word = many1 (letter <|> digit)

blank :: Parser String
blank = string " "

Regards,
Tobias
