The above demo does not seem to work. It looks really cool though! Thanks, Dave hey, just wondering if there is a working demo somewhere. The above demo does not seem to work.

I followed your instructions and then his and I now have it all working without any gui applications.

It wouldn't have reduced the number of lines of code though, save a couple of #includes (it wouldn't increase it either, since while (cin >> c) { } is valid). But my first instinct would have been to try and get perl to do it. If you could figure out how to embed arbitrary characters in a match string (perhaps a C-style "\x123" would work) then using perl -pe 's/something/\n/g' would save having any other files at all.

Love Simon's work... I'll check it out. Ryan, sffubs: fair point. I guess I'm not going to do a lot better. Shame to use the memory though. lilac: Good point. 'init' isn't the most intuitively named function in the Prelude, but it certainly seems to do the job. D'you think I can do init . init . init . init... without being wasteful?

There's a lot of good stuff there that you'll end up reinventing if you don't know it's built-in. lastButOne = last . init I suggest you read through the Prelude.

lastButOne = last . init

You still only traverse the list once though in my solution, unless I've missed something. Yep, as Ryan has already pointed out, reverse is O(n), but last-but-one is always going to be O(n) in time.
