because then I have to write names d1, ..., d15 two times in order to get my definitions right. I'm looking for a more elegant way doing this.
Hope this is a bit clearer what I'm after.
Yes, thank you, that is quite clear. I think that is the best you can do in Haskell. I really don't see it as inelegant at all. You define the variables d1 through d15 and then dirList is a function of those definitions. You type d1 once for its definition and next for its use. You would like to combine the two activities? Something like this perhaps? dirLst = [d1 = "somedir", d15 = "otherdir"] How would these variables be scoped? ____________________ David Place Owner, Panpipes Ho!
