It's not that it has no effect. If you have two parsers that have no common
initial productions then wrapping the first parser would have no effect.
That is the case here.
Just think of try as wrapping the stream / parser in a transaction. On
failure it rolls back.

No worries. I appreciate you taking the time to have a look at this in any
case.

Thanks for confirming this. I think it's best not to waste any more time on
this.
I appreciate your help in any case,

If you don't have a module declaration in your file, it is assumed to be
module Main (main) where
thus, if there's no main function, compilation fails.
Include a module declaration in your file,
module Whatever (parseCSV, csvFile, line, cell, eol) where
(the export list is optional, if you omit it, all top-level declarations
are exported).

Yes, runghc needs a main function.
Load the file in ghci to try out normal functions.

By the way, if you need a CSV parser, there are several already on
Hackage: 'csv' [1] is the simplest; for more sophisticated uses there
are also bytestring-csv [2] and csv-enumerator [3].
But perhaps you are just writing a CSV parser in order to learn
Parsec; in which case, by all means carry on!
