[Haskell-beginners] Parsec problem

[Kees Bleijenberg]

module Main(main) where 

import Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec  

 

parseToNewLine = do

                    line <- manyTill anyChar newline

                    return line

                                              

keyValue = do 

                    fieldName <- many letter 

                    spaces

                    char '='

                    spaces

                    fieldValue <- parseToNewLine 

                    return (fieldName,fieldValue)

 

main = parseTest keyValue "key=\n"

 

I don't understand why te code above doesn't parse to ("key","")

parseToNewLine "\n" parses to ""

parseTest keyValue "a=b\n" works fine and parses to ("a","b")
