Hi Tamas,
Questions:
1. Please tell me if you know of a csv module, because then I would do something else.
I think MissingH contains a simple CSV parser, but the server seems to be down.
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". Regards, Jens
