Hi All,

I have a file with a bunch of lines like such. number,number,string,string,string,string

How can I split up the lines in Haskell so that each item in the line becomes an element in a list? Or to put it differently, how do I split up a comma delimited string?

For example http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/split/0.1.2.1/doc/html/Data- List-Split.html#v:splitWhen http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/split/0.1.2.1/doc/html/Data- List-Split.html#v:splitOn http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/split/0.1.2.1/doc/html/Data- List-Split.html#v:splitOneOf do that for lists. There's similar functionality for ByteStrings (bytestring, stringsearch) and for Text (text).

Thanks in advance,

Bryce
