[Haskell-cafe] matching

hi I have a matching problem... I am wanting to identify whether or not a string is an opening substring of another (ignoring leading spaces). I have this: word is a single word and str is a string. match :: String -> String -> (Bool, String)match word str | if removeSpace str `elem` (removeSpace word) ++ rest = (True, rest) | otherwise == (False,str) where rest = str Any help?
