I recently started using Haskell Platform. I created a source file using Wordpad and named it add. I tried double clicking it so I can open it in ghci but I get <[1 of 1] Compiling Main (C:\add.hs,interpeted) C:\add.hs:1:6: parse error on input '\' Failed modules loaded: none.> What do I do so I can use my source file?. Should I use another text editor?. Thanks |

Wordpad is what is known as a rich text editor - it uses data embedded in the file to do things like font sizes, typefaces, bolding and italicizing text, and so on. In general, compilers and interpreters expect plain text files - files containing just the characters they are to parse. Yes, you should use another editor. Notepad would work, or you could download something a bit more full-featured. | |||
