when i run this haskell program in the eclipse fp console it waits for my input before asking for it , however when i run it from a terminal it behaves correctly


im using eclipse 3.3 with the functionalprogramming plugin and the GHC compiler

any ideas what is going on or how to fix it?

possibly the console is running in a buffered mode and it isn't correctly flushing stdout before starting a read on stdin.

I don't know haskell though so I don't know how to force a flush.

thanks ,i fixed it by explicitly setting the console to line buffering on stdout to LineBuffering
