match :: MonadParsec e s m => m a -> m (Tokens s, a)

Return both the result of a parse and a chunk of input that was consumed during parsing. This relies on the change of the stateOffset value to evaluate how many tokens were consumed. If you mess with it manually in the argument parser, prepare for troubles.

Since: megaparsec-5.3.0

(<?>) :: MonadParsec e s m => m a -> String -> m a infix 0

A synonym for label in the form of an operator.

anySingle :: MonadParsec e s m => m (Token s)

Parse and return a single token. It's a good idea to attach a label to this parser.

anySingle = satisfy (const True)

See also: satisfy, anySingleBut.

Since: megaparsec-7.0.0

satisfy

Arguments

:: MonadParsec e s m

=> (Token s -> Bool)

Predicate to apply

-> m (Token s)

The parser satisfy f succeeds for any token for which the supplied function f returns True.

digitChar = satisfy isDigit <?> "digit"
oneOf cs  = satisfy (`elem` cs)

See also: anySingle, anySingleBut, oneOf, noneOf.

Since: megaparsec-7.0.0

parse

Arguments

:: Parsec e s a

Parser to run

-> String

Name of source file

-> s

Input for parser

-> Either (ParseErrorBundle s e) a

parse p file input runs parser p over Identity (see runParserT if you're using the ParsecT monad transformer; parse itself is just a synonym for runParser). It returns either a ParseErrorBundle (Left) or a value of type a (Right). errorBundlePretty can be used to turn ParseErrorBundle into the string representation of the error message. See Text.Megaparsec.Error if you need to do more advanced error analysis.

main = case parse numbers "" "11,2,43" of
         Left bundle -> putStr (errorBundlePretty bundle)
         Right xs -> print (sum xs)

numbers = decimal `sepBy` char ','

type Parsec e s = ParsecT e s Identity

Parsec is a non-transformer variant of the more general ParsecT monad transformer.

try :: MonadParsec e s m => m a -> m a

The parser try p behaves like parser p, except that it backtracks the parser state when p fails (either consuming input or not).

This combinator is used whenever arbitrary look ahead is needed. Since it pretends that it hasn't consumed any input when p fails, the (<|>) combinator will try its second alternative even if the first parser failed while consuming input.

For example, here is a parser that is supposed to parse the word “let” or the word “lexical”:

>>> parseTest (string "let" <|> string "lexical") "lexical"
1:1:
unexpected "lex"
expecting "let"

What happens here? The first parser consumes “le” and fails (because it doesn't see a “t”). The second parser, however, isn't tried, since the first parser has already consumed some input! try fixes this behavior and allows backtracking to work:

>>> parseTest (try (string "let") <|> string "lexical") "lexical"
"lexical"

try also improves error messages in case of overlapping alternatives, because Megaparsec's hint system can be used:

>>> parseTest (try (string "let") <|> string "lexical") "le"
1:1:
unexpected "le"
expecting "let" or "lexical"

Please note that as of Megaparsec 4.4.0, string backtracks automatically (see tokens), so it does not need try. However, the examples above demonstrate the idea behind try so well that it was decided to keep them. You still need to use try when your alternatives are complex, composite parsers.

errorBundlePretty

Arguments

:: (Stream s, ShowErrorComponent e)

=> ParseErrorBundle s e

Parse error bundle to display

-> String

Textual rendition of the bundle

Pretty-print a ParseErrorBundle. All ParseErrors in the bundle will be pretty-printed in order together with the corresponding offending lines by doing a single efficient pass over the input stream. The rendered String always ends with a newline.

char :: (MonadParsec e s m, Token s ~ Char) => Token s -> m (Token s)

A type-constrained version of single.

semicolon = char ';'

hexDigitChar :: (MonadParsec e s m, Token s ~ Char) => m (Token s)

Parse a hexadecimal digit, i.e. between “0” and “9”, or “a” and “f”, or “A” and “F”.

digitChar :: (MonadParsec e s m, Token s ~ Char) => m (Token s)

Parse an ASCII digit, i.e between “0” and “9”.

alphaNumChar :: (MonadParsec e s m, Token s ~ Char) => m (Token s)

Parse an alphabetic or numeric digit Unicode characters.

Note that the numeric digits outside the ASCII range are parsed by this parser but not by digitChar. Such digits may be part of identifiers but are not used by the printer and reader to represent numbers.

space1 :: (MonadParsec e s m, Token s ~ Char) => m ()

Skip one or more white space characters.

See also: skipSome and spaceChar.

Since: megaparsec-6.0.0

space :: (MonadParsec e s m, Token s ~ Char) => m ()

Skip zero or more white space characters.

See also: skipMany and spaceChar.

tab :: (MonadParsec e s m, Token s ~ Char) => m (Token s)

Parse a tab character.

eol :: (MonadParsec e s m, Token s ~ Char) => m (Tokens s)

Parse a CRLF (see crlf) or LF (see newline) end of line. Return the sequence of characters parsed.

string :: MonadParsec e s m => Tokens s -> m (Tokens s)

A synonym for chunk.

signed

Arguments

:: (MonadParsec e s m, Token s ~ Char, Num a)

=> m ()

How to consume white space after the sign

-> m a

How to parse the number itself

-> m a

Parser for signed numbers

signed space p parser parses an optional sign character (“+” or “-”), then if there is a sign it consumes optional white space (using space parser), then it runs parser p which should return a number. Sign of the number is changed according to the previously parsed sign character.

For example, to parse signed integer you can write:

lexeme        = L.lexeme spaceConsumer
integer       = lexeme L.decimal
signedInteger = L.signed spaceConsumer integer

float :: (MonadParsec e s m, Token s ~ Char, RealFloat a) => m a

Parse a floating point number according to the syntax for floating point literals described in the Haskell report.

This function does not parse sign, if you need to parse signed numbers, see signed.

Note: before version 6.0.0 the function returned Double, i.e. it wasn't polymorphic in its return type.

Note: in versions 6.0.0–6.1.1 this function accepted plain integers.

hexadecimal :: (MonadParsec e s m, Token s ~ Char, Integral a) => m a

Parse an integer in hexadecimal representation. Representation of hexadecimal number is expected to be according to the Haskell report except for the fact that this parser doesn't parse “0x” or “0X” prefix. It is a responsibility of the programmer to parse correct prefix before parsing the number itself.

For example you can make it conform to the Haskell report like this:

hexadecimal = char '0' >> char' 'x' >> L.hexadecimal

Note: before version 6.0.0 the function returned Integer, i.e. it wasn't polymorphic in its return type.

octal :: (MonadParsec e s m, Token s ~ Char, Integral a) => m a

Parse an integer in octal representation. Representation of octal number is expected to be according to the Haskell report except for the fact that this parser doesn't parse “0o” or “0O” prefix. It is a responsibility of the programmer to parse correct prefix before parsing the number itself.

For example you can make it conform to the Haskell report like this:

octal = char '0' >> char' 'o' >> L.octal

Note: before version 6.0.0 the function returned Integer, i.e. it wasn't polymorphic in its return type.

binary :: (MonadParsec e s m, Token s ~ Char, Integral a) => m a

Parse an integer in binary representation. Binary number is expected to be a non-empty sequence of zeroes “0” and ones “1”.

You could of course parse some prefix before the actual number:

binary = char '0' >> char' 'b' >> L.binary

Since: megaparsec-7.0.0

skipLineComment

Arguments

:: (MonadParsec e s m, Token s ~ Char)

=> Tokens s

Line comment prefix

-> m ()

Given comment prefix this function returns a parser that skips line comments. Note that it stops just before the newline character but doesn't consume the newline. Newline is either supposed to be consumed by space parser or picked up manually.

symbol

Arguments

:: MonadParsec e s m

=> m ()

How to consume white space after lexeme

-> Tokens s

Symbol to parse

-> m (Tokens s)

This is a helper to parse symbols, i.e. verbatim strings. You pass the first argument (parser that consumes white space, probably defined via space) and then you can use the resulting function to parse strings:

symbol    = L.symbol spaceConsumer

parens    = between (symbol "(") (symbol ")")
braces    = between (symbol "{") (symbol "}")
angles    = between (symbol "<") (symbol ">")
brackets  = between (symbol "[") (symbol "]")
semicolon = symbol ";"
comma     = symbol ","
colon     = symbol ":"
dot       = symbol "."
