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

I got a compile error, and had to change import IO to import System.IO Then it worked fine, i.e. all lines of were printed to stdout as well as written to the output file. What is you ghci version? -- Manfred
