I've written a function that checks for a substring in a given string. This seems like a common thing to do and was wondering if there is a function that does this in one of the standard modules.

Hal Dume III has given a simple solution to you; if you are looking for something more elaborate and efficient you should consult some text on pattern-matching implementation; there are already written functions for pattern matching in haskell, but not in the standard library, try looking at the haskell site, maybe you are interested in http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~meurig/regexp/ Vincenzo
