You haven't attached any code, but even if you had, I don't think it would have worked. > ["hi ryan 1","hi jeff 2"] becomes [["hi","ryan" 1], ["hi","jeff", 2]]. In Haskell lists are collections of elements of the _same_ type. In your example "hi" and "jeff" are both String's, while 2 is an Integer. The difference in types means they can't be placed in the same list. Is this a homework exercise, or are you trying to learn independently? If its homework, please read the homework help thing (http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Homework_help), and if you are trying to learn on your own, you might want to read a tutorial or two first (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell) Thanks Neil _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
