[Haskell-beginners] hPutChar: invalid argument (Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character

13 Jun 2010

      HI all,

I've managed to use the Curl bindings to pull down a web page, and I'm
using TagSoup to parse it, but when I try to print the text in a TagText
I get 

   hPutChar: invalid argument (Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide
   character)

The code looks like:

    parsePage :: String -> IO ()
    parsePage page = do
        let tags = map deTag $ filter isTagText $ parseTags page
        mapM_ putStrLn tags
      where
        deTag (TagText s) = s
        deTag x = error $ "Bad Tag '" ++ show x ++ "' in deTag."

This is with ghc-6.12.1 on Debian Linux.

Any clues appreciated.

Cheers,
Erik
