Haskell Snippet: read CSV file, marshall into type
This listing shows how to open a file, extract the contents, split by the delimiter (regex is a little off) and then mashall into a datatype.
data PageURLFieldInfo = PageURLFieldInfo {
linkUrlField :: String,
aUrlField :: Integer,
blockquoteUrlField :: Integer,
divUrlField :: Integer,
h1UrlField :: Integer,
imgUrlField :: Integer,
pUrlField :: Integer,
strongUrlField :: Integer,
tableUrlField :: Integer
}

-- The info content file contains html document information.
-- It may not exist but should, also contains URL info.

readInfoContentFile extr_file = do
let extr_n = (length ".extract")
extr_path = take ((length extr_file) - extr_n) extr_file
info_file = extr_path ++ ".info"
-- Extract the file, in CSV format.
