Problem reading files...

2001-02-12 Thread Andre W B Furtado 



 Hello there. I was trying to 
read a bitmap file using hGetChar but I had a problem: if the file contains the 
byte 26-decimal (or 1A-hexa) the program aborts. Here you have the 
output:

Fail: end of file
Action: hGetChar

 Since hGetChar is implemented 
with getc, I created a similar program in C, using getc. This program written in 
C had no problems. Is this a haskell bug or does anyone know what'sgoing 
on?

Thanks,
Andre Furtado

Sounds like you're using WinDoze which interprets Ctrl-Z as EOF in
non-binary files IIRC (great idea, BTW! :-}. Alas, you have to use
non-standard features (openFileEx or hSetBinaryMode) to get around
this, see:
