Hi all, I'm new to Haskell and trying to do some parsing with Parsec. It's been extremely good so far. I have run into a problem I can't seem to see the solution to though. I hope someone on the list can help me out! I have a command with a parameter list like this: CMD PARAM1 foo PARAM2 100 PARAM3 200 Which is easy enough to parse, but it turns out the grammar is not particularly well defined, and it's considered acceptable to swap parameter order round pretty much arbitrarily. Is there a simple way to handle this? I would like to only allow one of each parameter, some parameters may also be optional. It feels like I might have to write my own combinator to do this but I'm not sure I'm quite ready of that yet! Thanks,
