How to split a string in Haskell?

Question

Is there a standard way to split a string in Haskell?

lines and words work great from splitting on a space or newline, but surely there is

Answer 1

There is a package for this called split.

cabal install split

Use it like this:

ghci> import Data.List.Split
ghci> splitOn "," "my,comma,separated,list"
["my","comma","separated","list"]

It comes with a lot of other functions for splitting on matching delimiters or having several delimiters.
