This is my first post on this site 🙂 I’m learning F#. To do this, I try to resolve the Euler problems (http://projecteuler.net/). In the 11th problem (http://projecteuler.net/problem=11), the first task to accomplish is to parse a file which contains this 20×20 grid :

08 02 22 97 38 15 00 40 00 75 04 05 07 78 52 12 50 77 91 08

01 70 54 71 83 51 54 69 16 92 33 48 61 43 52 01 89 19 67 48

I wrote this code to parse the file, and I tried to do it in a “functional” way. It works but I find it a little bit complex compared to what I could write in C# :

open System
open System.IO

let readLines =
    seq {
        use sr = new StreamReader("Input.txt")
        while not sr.EndOfStream do
            yield sr.ReadLine()
    } |> Seq.zip (Seq.ofList [0..19])

let parseLine tupleLine =
    let (index:int, line:string) = tupleLine
    line.Split( [| ' ' |] )
    |> Array.map(fun s -> Int32.Parse(s))
    |> Seq.zip [| 0 .. 19 |]
    |> Seq.map (fun tl -> (index, fst tl, snd tl))

let tabNumbers = Array.create 400 0

let fillArray tupleNumber =
    let (line, column, number) = tupleNumber
    tabNumbers.[20 * line + column] <- number

readLines
|> Seq.map parseLine
|> ignore

Is there a simplier way to accomplish this ?
Thank you in advance !

PS : Excuse me for my bad english…

    This is a corresponding version of your code:

    let readLines =
  "Input.txt"
  |> File.ReadAllLines
  |> Array.mapi (fun i line -> (i, line)) 

let parseLine (i, line) =
  line.Split([|' '|])
  |> Array.mapi (fun j s -> i, j, Int32.Parse(s))

    Or you can combine them to have a more succinct version:

    let readAll =
  "Input.txt"
  |> File.ReadAllLines
  |> Array.mapi (fun i line -> line.Split([|' '|])
                               |> Array.mapi (fun j s -> i, j, Int32.Parse(s)))
