So the following isn't as clever as the line-noise Don posted, but should be in the ball-park.
dropFromEnds p = dropWhile p . dropWhileEnd p dropWhileEnd p bs = take (findFromEndUntil (not p) bs) bs takeWhileEnd p bs = drop (findFromEndUntil p bs) bs {- findFromEndUntil is in ByteString.hs, but is not exported -} T. -- Dr Thomas Conway [EMAIL PROTECTED] Silence is the perfectest herald of joy: I were but little happy, if I could say how much. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
