How to utilize a file argument specified in the command line with ".." in Haskell?

edit

In Haskell, you can use the getArgs function from the System.Environment module to retrieve the command line arguments passed to your program as a list of String values.

To utilize a file argument specified in the command line with "..", you can create a function that takes in the file path as a String argument, and then use that argument to read or write to the file.

For example, here is a simple program that reads a file specified in the command line, and prints its contents to the console:

import System.Environment (getArgs)

main :: IO ()
main = do
    args <- getArgs
    case args of
        [filePath] -> do
            contents <- readFile filePath
            putStrLn contents
        _ -> putStrLn "Usage: programName <file>"

This program uses pattern matching to ensure that the command line arguments contain exactly one value, which is assumed to be the file path. If there are more or fewer arguments, the program will print a usage message.

If you run this program using a command like programName ../path/to/file.txt, it will print the contents of the specified file to the console.
