Hi, I'm looking to parse a Fortran dialect using Parsec, and was hoping to use the ParsecToken module. Fortran though is unlike the Parsec examples, and prohibits default line continuation (requiring instead an explicit ampersand token &). The lexical parsers of the ParsecToken module skip whitespace after each symbol parsed (lexeme parsers); including the newline.
I was thinking of making a minor change to Parsec: In Token.hs, lexeme, whiteSpace, and simpleSpace are defined. lexeme uses whiteSpace which uses simpleSpace. simpleSpace is defined: simpleSpace = skipMany1 (satisfy isSpace) I could replace this locally with: simpleSpace = skipMany1 (satisfy isSpacePlusAmpersandMinusNewline) This approach may have other problems though. Has anyone experience of using Parsec to parse such a language? For example assembly or a preprocessor? Thanks in advance, Paul
