A collection of various methods for splitting lists into parts, akin to the
|
||
|
|
"split" function found in several mainstream languages. Here is its tale:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once upon a time the standard Data.List module held no function for
|
||
|
|
splitting a list into parts according to a delimiter. Many a brave
|
||
|
|
lambda-knight strove to add such a function, but their striving was in
|
||
|
|
vain, for Lo, the Supreme Council fell to bickering amongst themselves what
|
||
|
|
was to be the essential nature of the One True Function which could cleave
|
||
|
|
a list in twain (or thrain, or any required number of parts).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And thus came to pass the split package, comprising divers functions for
|
||
|
|
splitting a list asunder, each according to its nature. And the Supreme
|
||
|
|
Council had no longer any grounds for argument, for the favored method of
|
||
|
|
each was contained therein.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To get started, see the Data.List.Split module.
