Thanks I actually have done that but couldn't understand how to use them. Can you give me an example on a function that reads a file and in case the file is not found you throw a string like "File not found" or so??

Look at the functions try catch and bracket.

I am trying to write a small software to take info from one file and write it into another file. The problem is that when I don't give any input I get the normal haskell nosuchfile error message but I want to give my own error message. I am a newbie, how can I do that? Also I need the file that is gonna be created (A text file), to be created in UNIX type and not as a DOS file type, how can I do that? I am using ghc to compile on Windows.
Here is the main code
main :: IO() main = do args <- getArgs codes <- codes args conax <- readconax "conax.txt" makeIrdFile (lines codes) (lines conax)
--Read input file------------------------------------ codes :: [String] -> IO[Char] codes [] = return "" codes (x:xs) = do first <- readFile x return first
--Read Inbuilt file--------------------------------- readconax file = do list <- readFile file return list
