SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

This module helps you in parsing text files. You construct a parser, give it a text file and loop until its over each time getting the current line from it... You can also init the parser from a process and so get the process output in a pipe without having to temporarily store it. This enables you to get the output of a process much cleaner.
