Thank you Daniel and Ivan, with firefox i finded out that my text file
was encoded in WINDOWS-1252.
So a commande line such as:
iconv -f WINDOWS-1252 -t ISO-8859-1 liste.txt > liste2.txt
did the trick.
Alternatively, i modified my code with:
myReadFile a = do
h <- openFile a ReadMode
te <- mkTextEncoding "CP1252"
hSetEncoding h te
hGetContents h
