[Haskell-cafe] accents

[Dupont Corentin]

Thank you Daniel and Ivan, with firefox i finded out that my text file
was encoded in WINDOWS-1252.

So a commande line such as:
iconv -f WINDOWS-1252 -t ISO-8859-1 liste.txt > liste2.txt
did the trick.

Alternatively, i modified my code with:

myReadFile a = do
	h <- openFile a ReadMode
	te <- mkTextEncoding "CP1252"
	hSetEncoding h te
	hGetContents h
