The `PackedString` type
data PackedString
A space-efficient representation of a `String`, which supports various efficient operations. A `PackedString` contains full Unicode `Char`s.

Typeable PackedString
Converting to and from `PackedString`s
packString :: String -> PackedString
Convert a `String` into a `PackedString`
unpackPS :: PackedString -> String
Convert a `PackedString` into a `String`
I/O with `PackedString`s
hPutPS :: Handle -> PackedString -> IO ()
Outputs a `PackedString` to the specified `Handle`. NOTE: the representation of the `PackedString` in the file is assumed to be in the ISO-8859-1 encoding. In other words, only the least signficant byte is taken from each character in the `PackedString`.
hGetPS :: Handle -> Int -> IO PackedString
Read a `PackedString` directly from the specified `Handle`. This is far more efficient than reading the characters into a `String` and then using `packString`. NOTE: as with `hPutPS`, the string representation in the file is assumed to be ISO-8859-1.
List-like manipulation functions
nilPS :: PackedString
The `nilPS` value is the empty string.
consPS :: Char -> PackedString -> PackedString
The `consPS` function prepends the given character to the given string.
headPS :: PackedString -> Char
The `headPS` function returns the first element of a `PackedString` or throws an error if the string is empty.
tailPS :: PackedString -> PackedString
The `tailPS` function returns the tail of a `PackedString` or throws an error if the string is empty.
nullPS :: PackedString -> Bool
The `nullPS` function returns True iff the argument is null.
appendPS :: PackedString -> PackedString -> PackedString
The `appendPS` function appends the second string onto the first.
lengthPS :: PackedString -> Int
The `lengthPS` function returns the length of the input list. Analogous to `length`.
indexPS :: PackedString -> Int -> Char
The `indexPS` function returns the character in the string at the given position.
mapPS :: (Char -> Char) -> PackedString -> PackedString
The `mapPS` function applies a function to each character in the string.
filterPS :: (Char -> Bool) -> PackedString -> PackedString
The `filterPS` function filters out the appropriate substring.
reversePS :: PackedString -> PackedString
The `reversePS` function reverses the string.
concatPS :: [PackedString] -> PackedString
The `concatPS` function concatenates a list of `PackedString`s.
elemPS :: Char -> PackedString -> Bool
The `elemPS` function returns True iff the given element is in the string.
substrPS :: PackedString -> Int -> Int -> PackedString
The `substrPS` function takes a `PackedString` and two indices and returns the substring of the input string between (and including) these indices.
takePS :: Int -> PackedString -> PackedString
The `takePS` function takes the first `n` characters of a `PackedString`.
dropPS :: Int -> PackedString -> PackedString
The `dropPS` function drops the first `n` characters of a `PackedString`.
splitAtPS :: Int -> PackedString -> (PackedString, PackedString)
The `splitWithPS` function splits a `PackedString` at a given index.
foldlPS :: (a -> Char -> a) -> a -> PackedString -> a
The `foldlPS` function behaves like `foldl` on `PackedString`s.
foldrPS :: (Char -> a -> a) -> a -> PackedString -> a
The `foldrPS` function behaves like `foldr` on `PackedString`s.
takeWhilePS :: (Char -> Bool) -> PackedString -> PackedString
The `takeWhilePS` function is analogous to the `takeWhile` function.
dropWhilePS :: (Char -> Bool) -> PackedString -> PackedString
The `dropWhilePS` function is analogous to the `dropWhile` function.
spanPS :: (Char -> Bool) -> PackedString -> (PackedString, PackedString)
The `spanPS` function returns a pair containing the result of running both `takeWhilePS` and `dropWhilePS`.
breakPS :: (Char -> Bool) -> PackedString -> (PackedString, PackedString)
The `breakPS` function breaks a string at the first position which satisfies the predicate.
linesPS :: PackedString -> [PackedString]
The `linesPS` function splits the input on line-breaks.
unlinesPS :: [PackedString] -> PackedString
The `unlinesPS` function concatenates the input list after interspersing newlines.
wordsPS :: PackedString -> [PackedString]
The `wordsPS` function is analogous to the `words` function.
unwordsPS :: [PackedString] -> PackedString
The `unwordsPS` function is analogous to the `unwords` function.
splitPS :: Char -> PackedString -> [PackedString]
The `splitPS` function splits the input string on each occurance of the given `Char`.
splitWithPS :: (Char -> Bool) -> PackedString -> [PackedString]
The `splitWithPS` function takes a character predicate and splits the input string at each character which satisfies the predicate.
joinPS :: PackedString -> [PackedString] -> PackedString
The `joinPS` function takes a `PackedString` and a list of `PackedString`s and concatenates the list after interspersing the first argument between each element of the list.
