in reply to Re^2: How would you parse this? (bug)
in thread How would you parse this?

I noticed a bug in:

Just a heads up. I won't be parsing documents that will come even close to being too big for memory; so don't expend further effort in this area on my behalf.

An update on my thinking so far is that I'm caught in the dilemma of hand-coding the parser to just do what I need, whilst seeing the potential for abstracting out some of the common components and writing code to generate it.

And then I come full circle and realise that I'm just as likely to make all the same mistakes as those modules I've decried :)
