Hi all,
I want to write a function to separate a string into a list of strings
separated by commas.
Example:
separate :: String -> [String]
separate "Haskell, Haskell, and Haskell" = ["Haskell", "Haskell", "and
Haskell"]
If anyone has some ideas, please share with me. Thanks.
Here is a solution using the Posix regex module.
Prelude Text.Regex> splitRegex (mkRegex "[ \t]*,[ \t]*")
"Haskell, Haskell, and Haskell"
["Haskell","Haskell","and Haskell"]
This form should work regardless of locale, but appears to be broken,
although I expect this is either my fault or that of the underlying
Posix library:
Prelude Text.Regex> splitRegex (mkRegex
"[:space:]*,[:space:]*") "Haskell, Haskell, and Haskell"
["Haskell"," Haskell"," and Haskell"]
