Hi!

I'm also interested, how to get this example working:

This seems to be an old discussion:

Was a strictReadFile implemented in the meantime?

Here's my implementation of strictReadFile: import System.IO strictReadFile path = do handle <- openFile path ReadMode strictReadFromHandle handle strictReadFromHandle handle = do eof <- hIsEOF handle if eof then do hClose handle return [] else do c <- hGetChar handle y <- strictReadFromHandle handle return (c:y) Cheers, David
