He has a routine that gives him a list of words classified by line, and he want the hyphens to be accounted for. So that : "Hello mis- ter world !" gives [(1,["Hello","mister"]),(2,["world","!"])] -- Jedaï ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
