Not sure exactly how far you mean when you are saying text parser, do you mean something that parses any string of alphanumeric characters (which is probably every program you use), or something that parses a spoken language (e.g. word processor grammar check), or something like a script processor?
Some possible examples,
Syntax highlighting in programming environments
Spell Checkers
Grammar checkers,
Scripted languages
Spreadsheet program
Diff tools
Preparing a sentence for speech by a speech processor if rather language dependant, Spanish is considered fairly easy to parse into phonemes as most of its pronunciation is fairly formalized (we did this as a project at uni), whereas English is considered pretty evil as practically every rule has two dozen exceptions, e.g. http://paul.merton.ox.ac.uk/language/poem.html
