Haskell parsec error

Question

while learning the parsec tutorial , I tried the fllowing command

  print (Parsec.parse (Parsec.many (Parsec.choice [Parsec.letter,Parsec.spaces ,(Parsec.char ','), Parsec.digit])) "" "hello1 , byebye2 ," )

and the error in console was

I am not sure how to fix this. How this can be fixed, any ideas??

Answer 1

From hackage

spaces :: Stream s m Char => ParsecT s u m ()
letter :: Stream s m Char => ParsecT s u m Char

so you have parser, that try to give you Chars and one, that just drops input and gives you (). What should the result be?

You could use

space :: Stream s m Char => ParsecT s u m Char

or

(spaces *> return ' ')

instead of just spaces depends on the behavior you want.
