The simplest solution seems to be to use the utf8-string package from Galois. It
provides a drop-in replacement for System.IO
What about other string encodings?
Example
If we use a function from System.IO.UTF8, we should also hide the equivalent one from the Prelude. (Alternatively, we could import the UTF8 module qualified)
> import System.IO.UTF8
> import Prelude hiding (readFile, writeFile)
> import System.Environment (getArgs)
The readFile and writeFile functions are the same as before...
> main :: IO ()
> main =
> do args <- getArgs
> mapM_ reverseUTF8File args
> reverseUTF8File :: FilePath -> IO ()
> reverseUTF8File f =
> do c <- readFile f
> writeFile (f ++ ".rev") $ reverseLines c
> where
> reverseLines = unlines . map reverse . lines
