> for (int i =0;i<len;i++){ if(lines[i] == "a"){ i+=2; } else{ parseLine(lines[i]); } } You must be one of those managers who like to dabble in coding! I don't even know what you wanted to do. Is that C++? That part `lines[i] == "a"` is string comparison, right? And `len` is the amount of lines, right? I'll use a list instead. I'd do it in C# with LINQ but I'm at my folks, so I only have an iPad. Here's the biggest Haskell program I ever wrote in my entire career: dropTwoIf :: (Eq a) => a -> [a] -> [a] dropTwoIf _ [] = [] dropTwoIf s (x:xs) | s == x = dropTwoIf s (drop 1 xs) | otherwise = x : dropTwoIf s xs myList = [ "will pass", "will pass", "a", "will skip", "will pass", "a", "will skip", "a" ] main = mapM_ print (dropTwoIf "a" myList) Result: "will pass" "will pass" "will pass" Thanks for forcing me to actually do something bigger than Hello World of fib in this Haskell thing. EDIT: Sure, it looks bigger than the for loop, but at least it has a name (but I'm not that good at naming) and it can be put in a library and reused. I'm pretty sure I could do MUCH better if I actually knew the standard library. EDIT 2: Huh, figured out the type.
