[Haskell-beginners] Re: Iterating through a list of char...

[Hein Hundal]

Jean-Nicolas,

   Here is a variation on Corentin's solution:

-- This function replaces every character that 
-- follows an 'a' with 'A'

repA :: String -> String

repA s = zipWith f (' ':s) s where
   f 'a' y = 'A'
   f  x  y =  y 

Cheers,
Hein
