Hello,
While I'm finding the "Gentle Tutorial" and "The Report" to be fairly
easy to follow in general, I am having trouble figuring out how to read
binary files in and out of Haskell programs. I didn't see any relevant
examples in the progs/demo directory. Could someone please send me some
simple concrete examples?
Specifically, there are two types of files I would like to read. The
first kind of file is a speech waveform data file, which is stored as a
binary file, with the samples stored as "signed short int". Can Haskell
read a stream of "signed short int" or do I have to insert a translation
program? The second kind of file is a feature vector file to be sent to a
pattern classifier. That file is a binary file of fixed-length
floating-point records, one feature vector after another.
It seems like Haskell will be a great tool for prototyping signal
processing and pattern recognition algorithms, once I can get data in and
out efficiently.
Thanks.
