Also, my version of the "split but don't drop the delimiter" is breakAll, since it's like a recursive break. words/unwords and lines/unlines have one argument, so a 2 argument fielts/unfields would break that "convention". Maybe: fields = csv `separateWith` "," csv = fields `joinWith` "," -- equivalent to concatIntersperse _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
