Re: [Haskell-cafe] How to use "bracket" properly ?

thanks for your quick answer. But I think he actually answered your question. I.e. try it with this extra 'do' statement:

winSSQ count noRed noBlue = do { do    let yesRed =  [1..33] \\ noRed;    let yesBlue = [1..16] \\ noBlue;    bracket (openFile "ssqNum.txt" WriteMode) (hClose) (\hd1 -> pickSSQ count yesRed yesBlue hd1); } In the future please use complete examples that have all variables and import statements. It helps us help you. Cheers, Thomas
