[Haskell-cafe] isSpace

[Ryan Bloor]

hi
 
I am having trouble with a function that is supposed to eliminate spaces from the start of a String and return the resulting string. I reckon a dropWhile could be used but the isSpace bit is causing me problems...
 
words :: String -> String
words a = case dropWhile isSpace a of
                     "" -> 
                     s:ss -> (s:word) : words rest
                                   where (word,rest) = break isSpace ss
 
 
Thanks
 
Ryan
