I would support this, if it helped to find a consensus. It's more difficult to decide if empty lists as elements of the result list (at the beginning, at the end or in the middle) should be returned. I would say yes, because removing is quite easy afterwards. The problem typically occurs with a final newline, that may produce an empty last line (that again may be closed by a further final newline by mistake) Christian >> splitBy :: (a -> Bool) -- ^ whether element is a seperator >> -> [a] -- ^ list to split >> -> [[a]] P.S. inspecting more than one element looks like an over-generalization to me and should be left to parsers or regexp libs. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
