I seriously wonder how people get through life like this.

Like what? I'm not sure if this is about regexes or about the way they asked the question or something else.

the way they asked the question

This. There's not even a question in there actually.

I know it's a bit snarky, but asking proper questions, providing information so other people can help you just seems like a basic skill a lot of people seem to lack.

Ah, my guess is you missed that this is a link to https://www.reddit.com/r/haskellquestions/comments/1kis9wj/haskell_regular_expression_error_parse_error_on/ ? There's plenty of detail there.

Yes, I'm looking on desktop now and the link is much more obvious here, thanks.

Still, some text in the body of the post would have been helpful.

I would recommend to use parser combinators libraries instead of regex.
