Generally a hyphen is written at the end of the sentance when moving on to the
next line and i managed to achieve this in haskell by using the "\n"- newline
which places an index word in the next line i.e. if the words appear indexed
like this...([1]),[mangoes] and a hyphen is applied, it becomes
([1],[mang-oes]) and it is valid in my function as i made it accept hyphens as
part of a single word.
Now my problem is this...I'm assuming that the hyphen normally comes at the end
of a sentence like this: "there are so many guys ravis-hing our women" and this
can be demonstrated in haskell by "\n" which places the words or characters
following it in a new line like this:
input: makeIndex"there are so many guys ravis\nhing our women" and output is:
(([1],[there]),([1],[ravis]),([2],[hing])) where 1 means the first line and 2
the next.
Now i want to write a function that would take away the hyphen and \n from all
the words supposed to end on the first line and continue on the next and make
all appear on the first line like this: all words in this form: "chip-\nheater"
should become "chipheater". hope i can get some guidance on doing this.
