[Haskell-cafe] Re: How to put data from a string to a tuple

Hi,

Im self learner in Haskell. And im stuck in a small place which I tried searching in google but couldn't find Proper answer

I have some values in a string, Im removing them one by one from the string (word by word) and I want to put them in a tuple. Because it contain Integers and Strings.

Can someone help me

Maybe something like this? pairs :: String -> [(String,Integer)] pairs s = f (words s) [] where f [] acc = reverse acc f (i:[]) acc = reverse ((i,undefined):acc) f (i:v:r) acc = f r ((i,read v):acc) Key points to look at: accumulator (acc with cons : ), recursion (f), pattern matching (i:v:r), undefined (if the data is not pairs).
