For example

http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/split/0.1.2.1/doc/html/Data-
List-Split.html#v:splitWhen

http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/split/0.1.2.1/doc/html/Data-
List-Split.html#v:splitOn

http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/split/0.1.2.1/doc/html/Data-
List-Split.html#v:splitOneOf

do that for lists.

There's similar functionality for ByteStrings (bytestring, stringsearch) 
and for Text (text).
