Have you looked at List.unfoldr? It's even more general.
unfoldr :: (b -> Maybe (a, b)) -> b -> [a]
And when we finally find a very general solution, the specific case of "split colon-separated fields" requires some thought and three lines of code using higher order functions and pattern matching, instead of just splitSep (== ':') line :-) Make simple things easy, complex things possible. Concentrate on the first part. Generalize only if it doesn't make the common simple case harder. After all, one always can write a complex splitting function by hand. The simple version doesn't have to cover all possible generalizations, only those which don't disturb common cases. -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk \__/ qrczak@knm.org.pl ^^ http://qrnik.knm.org.pl/~qrczak/
