Like the '.' command in /bin/sh? Yes, we ought to have something like that. I'll get around to it at some point, unless anyone gets there first. Cheers, Simon

Dirty hack - you can put such bindings in ~/.ghci :) Best regards, Tom -- .signature: Too many levels of symbolic links

How about this: :def . readFile :. C.hs I guess I got there first ;) Best regards, Tom -- .signature: Too many levels of symbolic links

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:

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.

:def . readFile :. C.hs

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

You could :load your modules in .ghci, but that would be inconvenient.

Thanks to you too. I wanted such functionality many times before, but it was after your question that I actually tried to do this :) Best regards, Tom -- .signature: Too many levels of symbolic links
