I dunno what a CS Major would say, even though I was one, once upon a time, but I'd say "No." I don't call it a parser until you start tearing apart the text, and making decisions about what to *DO* in your script, based on what you see in the text. In other words, for me to call it a parser, you need to be: Reading a character/word at a time looking for special words. Having some kind of if/switch construct which does something different based on the character you find. So far, you're only doing one thing: Finding {} and replacing variables. That's just my personal definition which may or may not match CS standards.
