As I am a newbie to Haskell, I am not sure how to handle this problem with less work. Do you have any ideas about this problem? Thanks in advance!
Have a look at http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Applications_and_libraries/Data_structures section 3 (IO) -> http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Binary_IO Of course you can just use most different parser libraries as well, because most are not tight to one token type.. So you shouldn't have any trouble parsing a ByeSttring which is a char (8bit word) buffer. I'd recommend having a look at ParseP or happy/ alex .. if the binary libraries aren't suited for your task.. But to get the fastest/ whatsoever solution you should wait for different replies as I haven't used all those yet to parse binary data.. Sincerly Marc Weber
