Hi all! I intend to try to build a utility similar to less, using Haskell. I want it to be efficient and able to jump around in multi-gigabyte text files (logs), and have some simple parse, filter and highlighting functionality, that I can tailor to my needs. From what I have read about Pipes, it sounds like it would be suitable as a building block. I hope to learn and understand Haskell and Pipes better in the process.
I have a decent grasp of how Haskell works and I have read through the Pipes tutorial and numerous blog posts, but I haven't really coded that much before, except for some toy examples. I just wonder if you, being much more knowledgeable than I in this subject, could give me any starting pointers on which packages I should check out and what I should think about. Right now my idea is to start out by building a program that runs through a file without interaction, and try to augment it to support interactivity later. Thank you for any help! :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Haskell Pipes" group.
