Description

- type GenParser tok st = Parsec [tok] st
- parseFromFile :: Parser a -> String -> IO (Either ParseError a)

type GenParser tok st = Parsec [tok] st Source #

parseFromFile :: Parser a -> String -> IO (Either ParseError a) Source #

`parseFromFile p filePath` runs a string parser `p` on the input read from `filePath` using `readFile`. Returns either a `ParseError` (`Left`) or a value of type `a` (`Right`).

     main    = do{ result <- parseFromFile numbers "digits.txt"
                 ; case result of
                     Left err  -> print err
                     Right xs  -> print (sum xs)
                 }
