Hello all, I was playing with some Haskell code that read in text files and processed them and often found myself writing empty result-files. I've pared the problem down to the following small example. -- example program import IO main = do rhdl <- openFile "test.in" ReadMode content <- hGetContents rhdl putStrLn content -- if I cmt out this line, content will be empty hClose rhdl putStrLn "Content: " putStrLn content -- if the first 'putStrLn' call was commented, this will print a blank line -- end example For some reason, if I comment out the 'putStrLn content' between hGetContents and hClose, the data from the hGetContents call is not stored. Can somebody verify this behavior and (if so) explain why it's happening? Thanks, -- kov
