I have a code that reads a string from a list of CChar's
shortName = map (toEnum.fromIntegral) shortname
When I have a turkish character like Ý the interpreter will:
StockList> a <- readStockInfo h
[66,105,108,105,-2,105,109,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32]
StockList> a
*** Exception: Prelude.chr: bad argument
The problem is the 66 in the beginning of the list. I'm not giving the entire
code, it's not needed...
What should I be using to work with such strings?
Thanks,

Can you explain your problem more clearly? I'm struggling to understand what was wrong given only a fragment of the program, none of the input and only an indication of where the problem lies in the output but not what that problem is. [This probably won't affect the answer though - which will probably be an admission that most Haskell compilers don't support international characters properly.] -- Alastair Reid reid@cs.utah.edu http://www.cs.utah.edu/~reid/

Oh, my bad, I think I gave a wrong list there. 66 is of course 'B', I was a
little sleepless at the time of writing. Now having enjoyed a few hours of
sleep I can express more eloquently :)
It seems to be the fourth character that is the problem, but then again that's
my mistake. Thank you.
Still it attracts my attention that I cannot type þ in ghci while I can type
it in bash. I think I can't type any of those international chars in ghc.
Maybe some bug fix is in order.
