I'm writing a parser using attoparsec. The parser is parsing a line-based format, for example this file
1,2,3
4,5,6
Let's assume the parser is currently placed just before 2
in the first line. How can I skip the rest of the line including the \n
character.
Note: This question was answered Q&A-style and therefore intentionally doesn't show research effort.
The answer to this is a simple combinator, however I wasn't able to find an easy & ready-to-use solution for this.
import Data.Attoparsec.ByteString.Char8
skipRestOfLine :: Parser ()
skipRestOfLine = skipWhile (not . isEndOfLine) >> endOfLine
