charCategory cat Parses character in Unicode General Category cat, see GeneralCategory.

char c parses a single character c.

semicolon = char ';'

The same as char but case-insensitive. This parser returns actually parsed character preserving its case.

>>> parseTest (char' 'e') "E"
'E'
>>> parseTest (char' 'e') "G"
1:1:
unexpected 'G'
expecting 'E' or 'e'

This parser succeeds for any character. Returns the parsed character.

oneOf cs succeeds if the current character is in the supplied list of characters cs. Returns the parsed character. Note that this parser doesn't automatically generate “expected” component of error message, so usually you should label it manually with label or (<?>).

See also: satisfy.

digit = oneOf ['0'..'9'] <?> "digit"

The same as oneOf, but case-insensitive. Returns the parsed character preserving its case.

vowel = oneOf' "aeiou" <?> "vowel"

As the dual of oneOf, noneOf cs succeeds if the current character not in the supplied list of characters cs. Returns the parsed character.

The same as noneOf, but case-insensitive.

consonant = noneOf' "aeiou" <?> "consonant"

The parser satisfy f succeeds for any character for which the supplied function f returns True. Returns the character that is actually parsed.

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

string s parses a sequence of characters given by s. Returns the parsed string (i.e. s).

divOrMod = string "div" <|> string "mod"

The same as string, but case-insensitive. On success returns string cased as actually parsed input.

>>> parseTest (string' "foobar") "foObAr"
"foObAr"
