that seems like the "wrong" way

check out prettyprint in the standard library

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.
