Hi,

how can I convert a file name with for example umlauts (ü, ä ... ) into UTF8, or some other format that I can actually use it?

Günther

Using the utf8-string package to encode the file name string.

e.g.

x <- readFile (encode "ኃይሌ ገብረሥላሴ")

In fact, utf8-string readFile already encodes the file name, so http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/utf8-string/0.3.3/doc/html/Syste... should be enough. -- Don
