I would like to develop a simple compiler for a declarative language in Racket (as a personal project), and am at a bit of a loss as to how to proceed with respect to how to process text in Racket. What is the standard means of reading a sequence of string (or characters) from a file?</div>

The basic idea is that the library provides a syntax similar to EBNF syntax allowing me to declare the grammar, and then generates a parser for me, whose function interface is defined by the nonterminal symbols of the grammar.</div>
