Re: [Haskell-beginners] In Search Of a clue... (Defining and making use of a type)

Hi Allen,

Here's what I'm doing so far,

----------------

data ScrUple = ScrUple { xineramascreen :: Integer , workspace :: String } deriving (Show)

data ScrConfig = ScrConfig [ ScrUple ] deriving (Show)

s1 = ScrUple 0 "mail" s2 = ScrUple 1 "web"

ScrConfig sc1 =ScrConfig( [s2 s1] ) ;

sc1 = ScrConfig [s2, s1]

main = putStrLn $ show sc1[1]

main = putStrLn $ show sc1 To print just parts of a ScrConfig you'll probably want a helper function. Maybe something like: scPrint (ScrConfig sus) nth = show (sus !! nth) (it will make problems on out-of-bounds-indexes!) HTH, Thomas
