I have a string that needs to be split/tokenized based on a delimiter. This can easily be accomplished using 'break' if the delimiter is only 1 character (i.e. break isSpace "this is a string"), but I can't see any way of using this for a delimiter with multiple characters.
in this case, I have a string containing multiples fields seperated by *two* blank lines (\n\n). I can't just break on the newline character, as single newline characters can be found inside each field.
any idea how I can do this without too much hassle?
There's a split function that does this in lambdabot's cvs tree: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/haskell-libs/libs/lambdabot/U... Here's a demo: Prelude Util> split "foo" "bazfoobarfooblipp" ["baz","bar","blipp"] -- Shae Matijs Erisson - 2 days older than RFC0226 #haskell on irc.freenode.net - We Put the Funk in Funktion 10 PRINT "HELLO" 20 GOTO 10 ; putStr $ fix ("HELLO\n"++)
