Doing this is idiomatic in Haskell, although its usage is commonly discouraged in more complex UI settings because you cannot ever close the file handle until the end of the program. The relevant functions are to be found in the Prelude (or in Data.ByteString.Lazy, for that matter). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Get a free email account with anti spam protection. http://www.bluebottle.com/tag/2 _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
