[Haskell-cafe] Re: Unicode vs. System.Directory
Hi Arie, If you don't mind binding code. You can try to use GIO APIs from my repository: http://patch-tag.com/r/AndyStewart/gio-branch/home GIO APIs handle unicode filename every well, and cross-platform. Cheers, -- Andy Arie Peterson ar...@xs4all.nl writes: After upgrading to haskell-platform-2010.1.0.0, with the improved unicode support for IO in ghc-6.12, I hoped to be able to deal with filenames containing non-ascii characters. This still seems problematic, though: $ ls m×n♯α $ ghci GHCi, version 6.12.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Prelude :m +System.Directory Prelude System.Directory getDirectoryContents . = mapM_ putStrLn .. mÃnâ¯Î± .

Similar problems arise with functions such as 'copyFile', which refuses to handle filenames with non-ascii characters (unless wrapping it with encoding functions). Is this a known problem? I searched ghc's trac, but there are no relevant bugs for the component 'libraries/directory'. I have parts of a unicode-aware layer on top of System.Directory laying around somewhere. I was rather hoping to ditch it, but I can polish it and put it on hackage, if people are interested.

I have finish all necessary GIO APIs at http://patch-tag.com/r/AndyStewart/gio-branch/home I will try to merge those APIs to next release version of gtk2hs when i have spare time. it seems that i can just merge these sources into my program for a while. but what is the license? believe it or not, but i have commercial project on the march -- Best regards, Bulatmailto:bulat.zigans...@gmail.com ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
