I use the Safe library to do this sort of stuff: http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~ndm/safe/ You can call readMay to get a maybe result, or readNote which gives an augmented error message on a crash. You can of course combine this with the CPP trick: #define read readNote (__FILE__++":"++show __LINE__) Thanks Neil _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
