Re: [Haskell-cafe] Parsec: Help needed with simple parser

Joel Reymont wrote:

My expression is x + 1 where x can be either "Close", or "Close[N]" or "Close[N] of DataM where N and M are positive integers. What happens in my case is that 1 + x parses fine but x + 1 doesn't. In fact, I would be fine with parsing Close + such that it ignores the plus and returns the parse.

Does "option" help? Like: string "Close" option () (bracketN >> option () ofDataM) where bracketN parses [N], ofDataM parses " of DataM".
