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

Without importing anything a straight substitution of one character for a space, the target separator for words is a space. Something like:

words [if c == ',' then ' ' else c|c <- "my,comma,separated,list"]

or

words let f ',' = ' '; f c = c in map f "my,comma,separated,list"

You can make this into a function with parameters. You can eliminate the parameter character-to-match my matching many, like in:

 [if elem c ";,.:-+@!$#?" then ' ' else c|c <-"my,comma;separated!list"]
