In Haskell, the file argument from the command line can be utilized using the System.Environment module. The ".." argument specifies the parent directory.
Here is an example code snippet:
import System.Environment
main = do
args <- getArgs
let fileName = "../" ++ head args -- add ".." prefix to file name
fileContents <- readFile fileName
putStrLn fileContents
In this example, we use the getArgs function to retrieve the command line arguments. We use the head function to get the first argument, which is assumed to be the file name. We then add the ".." prefix to the file name using the ++ operator. Finally, we use the readFile function to read the contents of the file and print it to the console using the putStrLn function.
