[Haskell-beginners] XML output

Hi, all! I'm struggling with a strange phenomenon. If I read a file containing __ a b c __ the program below works as expected. If I read a svg file __ <?xml version="1.0"?> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <rect x="0" y="0" width="180" height="180" fill="white"/> </svg> ___ the first two lines are not processed. Program: __ module SVG() where import IO main :: IO () main = do s <- readFile "sierpinski1.svg" putStrLn s writeFile "sierpinski1_.svg" s __ Results of putStrLn: __ *SVG> main a b c *SVG> main <rect x="0" y="0" width="180" height="180" fill="white"/> </svg> *SVG> __ File Output lists the whole file, though. I don't understand this, why is GHCi stripping the output this way? Thanks, regards, Torsten
