[Haskell-cafe] list of range

Yes exactly these range  are there to select an hundred files from a series of thousans :).

then for each file I have  the number of images.

at the end I have a dedicated type  called Chunk which allows to  split the stream

But you are right at this stage  I do not need the initial range, since I already have the file name and the number of image

Cheers
