Is it possible to build in a file in a haskell program??

[Alexandre Weffort Thenorio]

Yeah just as I expected it. It wrote the whole program OK but when it comes
to:

mybinfile =

It just wrote all the weird stuff that you see if you try opening a bin file
in notepad. The weird part is that it didn't write the whole thing, just
part of it. Is it supposed to be like that?? I did use readfile function to
read the bin file, but just in case how to make a handle into a string, for
example:

basic = "module MyBinFile ( mybinfile ) where\nmybinfile ::
String\nmybinfile = \""

do
handle <- openFile "mybinfile.hs" WriteMode --File to be written to
hand <- readfile "file.bin"
hPutStrLn handle (basic ++ hand ++ "\"")


That's what I did basically and I only used readFile to read the bin file
because hPutStrLn requires a String and openFile gives me a Handle so is it
possible to make a handle to a String?? Also what am I doing wrogn because
apparently I am not getting stuff like /x01/x02 but weird stuf like:

DÅÍo

in the created file.

Best Regards

Alex
