Hi, Before I launch into it, does anybody have an example of a parser that can count newlines. I would have thought this would be quite common, so I'm surprised to see it's not standard within Spirit? (Or maybe I didn't look hard enough?) I'm writing a parser which will parse multi-line files. I'd like to report an error along with a line number. I realise the error can't be detailed - e.g. what the parser expected, rather, just 'an error' - which why I'd like the line number to at least give the user a fighting chance. I assume the parser simply stops at the point where parsing failed, and thus I'd know the line number? I'm guessing I'd have to supply this as a custom skip parser to the parse method? Thanks for any clues. -- Regards, Steve.
