I found a similar question asked in June 2009 on the haskell-beginners archives, titled "Clearing Parsec error messages." A hack that was proposed (http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/beginners/2009-June/001809.html) was to insert a dummy character into the stream, consume it, and then fail. Still, I'd like to see if there is a cleaner way to modify the error state in the Parsec monad. NIck On Wednesday, August 08, 2012 03:24:31 PM silly8888 wrote:
I am trying to create a parsec parser that parses an integer and then checks if that integer has the right size. If not, it generates an error. I tried the following:
8<--------------------------------------------------------------- import Text.Parsec import Text.Parsec.String
integer :: Parser Int integer = do s <- many1 digit let n = read s if n > 65535 then parserFail "integer overflow" else return n 8<---------------------------------------------------------------
The problem is that when I try this
parse integer "" "70000"
I get the following error:
Left (line 1, column 6): unexpected end of input expecting digit integer overflow
ie there are three error messages but I only want the last one. Is there something I can do about this?
