Problem with do construct in haskell
- by Anonymous Coward
Hello everyone
I'm trying to learn Haskell and want to write a small program which prints the content of a file to the screen. When I load it into GHCi I get the following error:
The last statement in a 'do' construct must be an expression
I know this question has be asked already here: Haskell — “The last statement in a 'do' construct must be an expression”.
Even though my code is very similar I still can't figure out the problem. If anyone could point out the problem to me I'd be very thankful.
module Main (main) where
import System.IO
import System(getArgs)
main :: IO()
main = do
args <- getArgs
inh <- openFile $ ReadMode head args
printFile inh
hClose inh
printFile :: Handle -> IO ()
printFile handle = do
end <- hIsEOF handle
if end
then return ()
else do line <- hGetLine handle
putStrLn line
printFile handle
