Like the '.' command in /bin/sh? Yes, we ought to have something
I answer to 3 different mails here, so don' get confused: Simon M. wrote: like
that. I'll get around to it at some point, unless anyone gets there first.
I don't know about the '.' command in /bin/sh and I don't have a *nix machine at hand to find out. It's a pity. Tomasz Z. wrote:
Dirty hack - you can put such bindings in ~/.ghci :)
I tried that before posting the mail, but it does not work because the .ghci is read before going to the submitted file which contains the functions I need. (And ghci discards the bindings.) (I can read the contents of a file. Even print it, manipulate it (but only with what is supplied with package base). Quit good already!) Later Tomasz Z.
How about this:
:def . readFile :. C.hs
I guess I got there first ;)
That works great! And you can even put the ":def . readFile" in the .ghci File! So now I start ghci with "ghci MyFile" wait until it's finished and do ":. all_the_stuff_I_need_in_a_file" and every thing is fine! Thaks a lot, Andreas
