I am trying to parse a file that looks like:
a b c
f e d
I want to match each of the symbols in the line and parse everything into a list of lists such as:
[[A, B, C], [D, E, F]]
In order to do that I tried the following:
import Control.Monad
import Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec
import Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec.Language
import qualified Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec.Token as P
parserP :: Parser [[MyType]]
parserP = do
x <- rowP
xs <- many (newline >> rowP)
return (x : xs)
rowP :: Parser [MyType]
rowP = manyTill cellP $ void newline <|> eof
cellP :: Parser (Cell Color)
cellP = aP <|> bP <|> ... -- rest of the parsers, they all look very similar
aP :: Parser MyType
aP = symbol "a" >> return A
bP :: Parser MyType
bP = symbol "b" >> return B
lexer = P.makeTokenParser emptyDef
symbol = P.symbol lexer
But it fails to return multiple inner lists. Instead what I get is:
[[A, B, C, D, E, F]]
What am I doing wrong? I was expecting manyTill to parse cellP until the newline character, but that's not the case.
