Fully featured CSV parser for Haskell?

Question

Can anybody recommend a way to parse CSV files with options to:

• set cells/fields separator
• set end of record/row terminator
• set quote-character f

Answer 1

I can't recommend a ready-to-go, packaged-up CSV parser for Haskell, but I remember that the book Real-World Haskell by Bryan O'Sullivan et al. contains a chapter on Parsec, which the authors demonstrate by creating a CSV parser.

The relevant chapter 16: Using Parsec is available online; check the section titled Extended Example: Full CSV Parser.
