Hi,
I finally have an opportunity to learn Haskell (I'm a day-to-day Java programmer, but I'm also at ease with Scheme), parsing a huge (i.e. up to 50 go) binary file. The encoding is very stable, but it's not a flat struct array (i.e. it uses flags). Different outputs (i.e. text files) will be needed, some unknown at this time. Sounds to me a perfect "real-world" task to see what Haskell can offer.
Maybe you can try attoparsec. I have not tired it but will like to hear your experience Regards ppk
