Look in Data.ByteString.Char8 Cheers, Greg On Apr 5, 2010, at 6:27 PM, Günther Schmidt wrote:
Hi all,
I've never found an easy way to deal with ByteStrings.
I'm using the RSA library and it en- and decodes Data.ByteString.Lazy.ByteString.
I initially start with Strings, ie. [Char], but there is no function to convert the 2 back and forth. There is however a function which takes [Word8] to BytesString and back.
It all wouldn't be so confusing if there weren't several versions of ByteString in several modules to choose from. And a number of libraries requiring different types of ByteString.
I am sure the designers of the bytestring package had good reason for this design, is there also a webpage which explains which one to use and under what circumstances?
