Hi, i've found another solution : instead of putStr (show text), i just write putStr text. As a remaining problem, i don't how to install cabal in order to install the desired module. Thanks, Didier. aditya siram a écrit :

This is because of Unicode strings. You need to import "Codec.Binary.UTF8.String" and use: decodeString :: String -> String and encodeString :: String -> String

Hi,

i experiment problems writing files. Reading an access 97 database and displaying data in a wxhaskell grid, everything is correct. When i write data in a text file, some characters are translated : "é" becomes \233.

How to correct this ? I looked for hSetEncoding but didn't find it in System.IO, nor in GHC.IO.Handle that doesn't exist on my system. I tried hSetBinaryMode, without success.

If this helps, I run ghc 6.10.4 on windows XP.

Thanks for an idea, Didier.

Ah, yes, the Show instance escapes all characters beyond '\DEL', so (show text) doesn't contain any accented letters.

For Windows, there should be a cabal binary somewhere (try http://www.haskell.org/cabal/download.html ). There is supposed to be one included in the Haskell Platform, so installing that might be a good move.

Thanks, Didier.
