It's simple and I even have some helloworlds available
(I allways write helloworlds when I'm learning something new,
and I often save them for reference).
Tell me if you want me to send them to you.

But I don't know if it's any useful.
Parser is quite simple, and finding number start and end
is only half of parsing.
