I actually used RWS (not RWST in this case). The analysis and transformation of the regular expression parse tree in regex-tdfa is done by execRWS with monad type: > type PM = RWS (Maybe GroupIndex) [Either Tag GroupInfo] ([OP]->[OP],Tag) And to make it more complicated, some of the operations are via GHC's recursive 'mdo' syntax. The reader is tracking which capture group we are inside (if any) and the writer collects two streams of included Tags and capture GroupInfo. The state is a difference list of all the OP's and the next available Tag. I use all of 'tell' 'listens' 'ask' 'local' 'get' 'put' -- Chris _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
