What is a parser?

<DIV><FONT color=#0033ff>Im sorry, I know i shouldnt post this here, but i didnt know where else to post it, and i cant post it in the noob forum because im not of noob rank or something, I just wanted to see if anyone here could tell me.  I think that it just records the damage output, and damage taken, but not sure, and where do i get one?  Is there one in game, or do i have to download one somewhere?  Call me a noob all you want.</FONT></DIV>

A parser is something that takes your EQ2 log file (a simple text file filled with all kinds of gunk, including damage texts, tells, heals, chat, etc. and a time stamp for every little bit of it) and chews it up, spitting it out in a much more coherent form. That is, one that will tell you what your dps is, your damage taken, your % of attacks avoided, and so forth. Typing "eq2 parser" into google will find you a few, I'm sure. <div></div>
