I'm testing it and it's working really well. The other solutions are a little complicated for me, but I'm still trying to undestand them.
Jón's approach (the last version of his message), usually cleaner and more concise, is called point-free and is quite common in functional programming. It can be a bit confusing to newcomers, though, since part of the function's arguments do not appear explicitly in the expressions' body (as the list to be matched and modified in your example). You can read something more about this style here: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Pointfree Hope this helps. Andrea
