else while equal(c[1],"k") or equal(c[1],"i") or equal(c[1],"s")do

data = parse("AbCdEF",{"si",'c'})

Here's the problem.  You've either constructed 'c' incorrectly, or your
tests are incorrect, because c[1] = "si".  Perhaps it should be:

else while equal(c[1],"k") or match("i",c[1]) or match("s",c[1]) do

If you move the start of the while loop off of the same line as the else, 
you can see that it does go into the else block, but the while tests fail.
