Hello, We are two students from the University of Utrecht (the Netherlands) working on a project in Haskell. During work on the project, we encountered a problem with the 'readFile' IO Monad. readFile stops reading a file when it encounters ASCII character 26, as the following piece of coding shows. We've tested this with both the Hugs interpreter and the GHC compiler, but both encounter the same problem. Are there any known solutions for this? Regards, Richard Nieuwenhuis and Niels Reyngoud ------------ module Main where main = do let output = problemtext putStr output putStr "\n\n" writeFile "outputfile.txt" output text <- readFile "outputfile.txt" putStr text problemtext :: String problemtext = "strange\SUBstrange"
