loop n = do g <- zoom (PP.splitAt 3) PP.drawAll case g of [] -> return () _ -> do let out = "output-" ++ show n liftIO $ withFile out WriteMode $ \h -> do putStrLn $ "got a group, writing to " ++ out forM_ g $ \(fname,content) -> putStrLn $ " - processing " ++ fname loop (n+1) runExample = do let input = P.each [ (c, "content for file " ++ {c]) | c <- "abcdefghij" ] evalStateT (loop 1) input What I don't like about it is that it (apparently) has to construct the entire list `g` in memory before processing its elements. I also came up with this idea which (I think) addresses that concern: loop = do end <- PP.isEndOfInput if end then return () else do s <- S.get let x = s ^. (PP.splitAt 3) liftIO $ putStrLn "starting a new group" y <- lift $ runEffect (x >-> P.print) S.put y loop runLoop = do let input = P.each [ ("a", "asds"), ("b", "qwe"), ("c", "asdas"), ("d", "qwkjqkwe") ] evalStateT loop input Am I getting warmer? colder? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Haskell Pipes" group.
