How to get every Nth element of an infinite list in Haskell?

Question

More specifically, how do I generate a new list of every Nth element from an existing infinite list?

E.g. if the list is [5, 3, 0, 1, 8, 0, 3, 4, 0, 93, 211, 0

Answer 1

Use a view pattern!

{-# LANGUAGE ViewPatterns #-}

everynth n (drop (n-1) -> l)
  | null l = []
  | otherwise = head l : everynth n (tail l)

Ugly version of Nefrubyr's answer preserved so comments make sense.

everynth :: Int -> [a] -> [a]
everynth n l = case splitAt (n-1) l of
                 (_, (x:xs)) -> x : everynth n xs
                 _           -> []
