The exercise was meant to be done without using any library. Try it out, it will work.

A parser combinator library, such as parsec or attoparsec is better learnt after you have some idea of monads, which is the last topic cis194 deals with.

But, if it interests you, keep going. Parsec might be a better option as it has been there for a longer amount of time, and thus has more learning resources.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Found this tutorial which works with log files like I have to do : https://www.fpcomplete.com/school/starting-with-haskell/libraries-and-frameworks/text-manipulation/attoparsec

If the format is sufficiently simple a regex can be a very neat way to express the idea. Mostly people use parser combinators. Have a look at parsec / attoparsec on hackage.

Hello,

Im still busy with CIS 194

Now im facing this problem.

There is a log file of strings.

Most of them are of this format char Number [chars]

What is the best way to check if the string has this format ?

Regex or another way ?
