:: Int -> Get DataEntry -> Get [DataEntry] -package:parsers package:persistent-test

replicateM n act performs the action n times, gathering the results. Using ApplicativeDo: 'replicateM 5 as' can be understood as the do expression
do a1 <- as
a2 <- as
a3 <- as
a4 <- as
a5 <- as
pure [a1,a2,a3,a4,a5]
Note the Applicative constraint.
