Thanks for getting back to me, have written this so far

 

find :: [Char] -> Char -> Bool
find [] n = False
find (x:xs) n
   | x == n = True
   | otherwise = find xs x

 

this will work to find if one character appears in a list but i dont understand how to call this recursively to find if a list occurs within a list. I have tried writing another function to call this but it won't work. Does anyone have a solution?

 

thanks again
