2. I am looking for a parser, but I don't know Haskell parsers. Is Parsec a good choice?
Parsec is definitely a good choice, but beware that it parses the whole input before returning, thus it may consume a huge batch of memory. As CSV is a line oriented format, you should make your parser lazy. Search the mailing list archive for "lazy parser".
A good trick here is to first use "lines" to break up the input into lines and than map a Parsec parse for each line to those lines (returning a list of Maybe a or ParseError a results). All the best, -- Daan.
