Re: [Haskell-beginners] a better way to do this

This is an early attempt to create some kind of parser, for text that is xml-like but not actually xml. This is probably a disaster by Haskell standards... If someone could point me in the direction of a better way of doing things, that would be great. I don't want to use the existing parser library, not at first, because I want to learn more from first principles (for now).

To follow up my own post, I'm working through chapter 10 of "Real World Haskell" right now, and then I'll look at chapter 14 (Monads). I think this is a better way of creating parsers. Maybe I'll look at Parsec eventually too, although I want to do a lot of stuff myself for the learning exprience. Thanks, Mike
