Re: [Haskell-beginners] parsec, return remaining input?

Hi,

Is there a way to return the remaining input, so that parsec can be used to parse one piece at a time. So something like:

chunk = many (noneOf ",:")

chunk = do first <- many (noneOf ",:") rest <- getInput -- maybe `setInput ""' here return (first, rest)

parse chunk "abc,123:xyz"

But that looks like you're going to iterate, so maybe sepBy (many $ noneOf ",:") (oneOf ",:") should be looked at.

Would return ("abc", ",123:last") or similar?

thanks, Rob
