I think that there must be standard function that can do this. What do experienced Haskellers use?

I usually just whip up a quick parser using Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec

I usually prefer ReadP for quick stuff, for an unknown reason. I guess it feels like there is less infrastructure to penetrate, it gives me the primitives and I structure the parser according to my needs. But yeah, I think parser combinators are the way to go. It's really not much work at all once you get the hang of it.
