RE: A problem about hGetContents

| I would like to use hGetContents just to retrieve the list of | the lines of a file, but if I code a function like: | | linesFromFile :: FilePath -> IO [String] | linesFromFile f = do | h <- openFile f ReadMode | l <- hGetContents h | hClose h | return (lines l) | | I obviously always get the empty list as a result. How should | I code the function? Try the following: linesFromFile :: FilePath -> IO [String] linesFromFile = fmap lines . readFile All the best, Mark
