Re: [Haskell-cafe] Parsec beginners problem

I have a couple of questions about my first use of Parsec, which is trying to read morse code symbols from a string. I have a map of symbols:

import qualified Data.Map as M

morsemap = M.fromList [('A', ".-") ... , ('Z', "--..")]

a string to parse, like

test = "...---..-....-"

This may be relevant or not, but I thought morse required a delimiting character between letters, because otherwise the message was ambiguous? I seem to recall somewhere that Parsec didn't handle non-deterministic parsings very well (or at all). D.
