[Haskell] Ignoring input

[Jeremy Shaw]

Hello,

Data.Char has functions for converting upper/lower case, and for
testing if a character is alpha numeric.

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Data-Char.html

If you combine these with the map and filter functions you should be
able to get it worked out:

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Data-List.html

You probably want to attack it as two steps:

 (1) remove unwanted characters
 (2) convert to lower case

Jeremy Shaw.

ps. Remember that String is just an alias for [Char] in haskell.
