Hi Haskell ppl,
I'm trying to solve a problem that had been bothering me for a long time. I'm trying to create index and display the index in Hugs as well as an output text file.
Below is my code. In Hugs, the index managed to get displayed well with nice alignments. However, for the text file, the alignment is off. The bracket with the numbers are messy. I really don't know why this would happen.
Desired output:
Anna [1] Ben [2] Shane [3]
dispTable :: [([Int], Word)] -> String dispTable = unlines . map (\ (num,word) -> word ++ take (25 - (length word)) (repeat ' ') ++ show num)
Did i do sth wrong? Thanks in advance.
