Data.Text might work for you. I'm not guaranteeing that you'll get a "proper Unicode string" out of this, but you'll get a String with one (LATIN-1) value per character: import qualified Data.ByteString.Char8 as P import Data.Text.Encoding (decodeUtf8) import qualified Data.Text as T let arghs = ["\195\164"] let args = map (T.unpack . decodeUtf8 . P.pack) arghs Donn _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
