Haskell do not have a split function.

As others have already said, Haskell does in fact have a "split on spaces" function (words), and several others flavors of splitting that makes it possible to dissect your list as you wish. If you still want a split function ala Perl, there is a solid "split https://hackage.haskell.org/package/split" package on hackage which propose several standard function and a very configurable generic version of the split concept for all lists. Also, Data.Text comes with several splitting functions for use with the Text datatype. -- Jedaï
