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

Use Data.List.Split, which uses split:

[me@localhost]$ ghci
Prelude> import Data.List.Split
Prelude Data.List.Split> let l = splitOn "," "1,2,3,4"
Prelude Data.List.Split> :t l
l :: [[Char]]
Prelude Data.List.Split> l
["1","2","3","4"]
Prelude Data.List.Split> let { convert :: [String] -> [Integer]; convert = map read }
Prelude Data.List.Split> let l2 = convert l
Prelude Data.List.Split> :t l2
l2 :: [Integer]
Prelude Data.List.Split> l2
[1,2,3,4]
