Actually, this can count against you. It's very easy to use Parsec to build an innocent looking grammar that's too slow to use because it'll do all kinds of backtracking to find a way to make your input fit the grammar. I recommend Parsec for lots of tasks, but take care to design the grammar so it doesn't take exponential time to do anything. -- Dan _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
