Seriously, I simply don't know anything about OSX. I've never owned a
McComputer. Though I suspect OSX isn't quite as broken as Windows in
relation to installers.

I don't know of any Haskell-specific ones, but I'd be surprised if you
can't make NSIS or WiX create an installer for a Haskell binary.

I was thinking more along the lines of how reasonable it would be to
ask a non-technical user to build a program you wish to distribute
from source. On linux / bsd /etc it would probably be unsurprising,
but it may be asking too much of windows and mac users.

Subject: [Haskell-beginners] Can you identify this recursion pattern
please?
To: [email protected]
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
This looks like some kind of unfold to me. Can you help?
I have the following code that works for the first two levels:
-- get the list of all (recursive) child gallery names
-- first, just the immediate children
childNames <- childGalleries db (name gallery)
-- now let's try the next level
grandchildren <- mapM (childGalleries db) childNames
mapM putStrLn (childNames ++ concat grandchildren)
The database query childGalleries gives me a list of all the immediate
children.
So what I want is recursively, the names of all the descendants, as
well as the original name, concatenated to a flat list. I'm struggling
to identify the higher-order recursion function I need.

I worked out that Data.Tree.unfoldM_BF was what I needed.

Subject: [Haskell-beginners] remove XML tags using Text.Regex.Posix
To: [email protected]
Message-ID:
<[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
I have been working with the regular expression package (Text.Regex.Posix).
My hope was to find a simple way to remove a pair of XML tags from a short
string.
I have something like this "<tag>Data</tag>" and would like to extract
'Data'. There is only one tag pair, no nesting, and I know exactly what the
tag is.
My first attempt was this:
"<tag>123</tag>" =~ "[^<tag>].+[^</tag>]"::String
result: "123"
Upon further experimenting I realized that it only works with more than 2
digits in 'Data'. I occured to me that my thinking on how this regular
expression works was not correct - but I don't understand why it works at
all for 3 or more digits.
Can anyone help me understand this result and perhaps suggest another
strategy? Thank you.

I can manage the latter - use an XML parser to extract the text.

The regex you are using here can be described as such:
"Match a character not in the set '<,t,a,g,>', followed by 1 or more of
anything, followed by a character not in the set '<,/,t,a,g,>'."
Effectively, it will not match if your data has less than 3 characters and
is probably not the correct regex for this job, i.e. it would also match
"x123x". What you need is regex capturing, but I don't know if that is
available in that regex library (I'm not an expert Haskeller).
If you really need a regex to locate the tag, you could use a function like
this to extract it:
getTagData tag s =
let match = s =~ ("<" ++ tag ++ ">.*</" ++ tag ++ ">")::String
dropTag = drop (length tag + 2) s
getData = take (length match - (2 * length tag + 5)) dropTag
in if length match > 0
then Just getData
else Nothing
*Main> getTagData "tag" "<tag>123</tag>"
Just "123"

Personally I would have used tagsoup for this sort of thing. Keep in mind the
eternal words
Some people, when confronted with a problem, think 'I know, I'll use
regular expressions.' Now they have two problems.
