What do you do with the result of the parsing process? If you write it to 
another file you can just look if that file already exists. If you write it 
to a database there may be a specific record to look for.

Can you give some context? What are you trying to do? Is your application 
running all the time or would you like to invoke it, process new files and 
then terminate?
